I won't settle for "just ok." Tackling the severe clinical depression I experienced --- including enough meds to fill a small pharmacy --- taught me the importance of vitality in life. Yes, I've been knocked to my knees with a thousand pounds of rocks on my back by the depression; Yes, I've trembled so badly that my teeth chattered from both anxiety and panic attacks. Those are the personal hells I've experienced, literally winding up temporarily psychologically crippled. However, my fight isn't to just get rid of the disorders, and I won't settle for just ok. I'm going to keep fighting to live a full, vital life, filled with ups and downs, sadness and joy, success and failure, but with all of the richness life has to offer.
