Emergency Antidepressant

Back in '98/'99, when I was feeling absolutely miserable, I had one recourse if I thought I was in danger of doing harm to myself.

I would take .75 liters of Jolt cola, and watch a comedy.

The caffiene was to shock my system into a place where the comedy could make me laugh. The comedy was to actually cheer me up.

It was a temporary measure, but it got me over the worst bits without doing actual physical harm to myself.
