Message: [QUOTE="nabmom, post: 1581054, member: 63826"] Here's my two cents on the situation (since I take Prozac as well and it's a life changer as far as my mood and reactions to life--much better quality of life!): I think one of the devastating things about depression is that you have these feelings of worthlessness ("nothing I do is any good" "nobody cares about me" etc.). Add those feelings to feeling bad about losing at poker and you're really in a hole. So, IMHO, you're experiencing variance. I doubt that the Prozac is what makes you a worse player. And I think that the advice when you're on a downswing is to take a step back from the game (so you're doing the right thing). Breathe. Relax. Relish in your improved mental health. Then go back to poker when you're ready. It'll be here waiting for you! Kudos to your honesty and openness. I'm impressed by (most of) the replies that are so respectful. Makes me happy to be part of this forum. [/QUOTE]
