5. It is our physiology, not our character

That makes Wellbutrin necessary for some of us. I also need glasses, due to my biology. I tried to do without them in high school. One day, as I got off the bus with rest of my neighbor kids, I tripped over the curb because I couldn't see it. My books went flying. I went sprawling. I was scrambling to adjust mini-skirt that had gone askew as I lay there. My mother was waiting at the door for me and, thinking she was funny, yelled, "Drunk again?" So, my humiliation was complete. That was 55 years ago. Ever since, I always wear my glasses, without shame, to avoid falling down. Now, I also will always take my Wellbutrin, without shame, to avoid falling mentally. Take care, please. You are doing the right thing.
