I was concerned that I wouldn't do enough work because I would be too depressed.  

 

So I went to the hospital and got a bunch of antidepressants and sleeping pills (because I get tired a lot).

 And I've been taking the damn things and I still have too much work to do, and too little time to do it in.

 

Are the drugs making me stupider?  Have I just stopped caring enough?

 

In eleven hours I have to give a presentation at a meeting and there is no way I will have enough time to prepare it.  

 

And I have to get the damn ten pages written tonight.  

 

I don't even get to take *fun* drugs - I get to take "Lexapro" and "Stilnox," the boring drugs.

    As well as the drugs you need to do some theraphy alongside....I think you should also think about looking for less stressful and time consuming work.
