I'm not normal and it sucks.
If I'd been cleared I would be on my way to St. Petersburg for a four month trip right now. My psychiatrist didn't think I'd be able to ween off my anti-depressants and "stabilize" before the trip. She wouldn't sign off on the "mentally sound" box because I had an "history" of mental breakdowns. I haven't had one of those fuckers in three years.
Being sad makes me sad. Oh well.
