One Woman's World
I placed ads, took students, started writing again. A couple of years after my decision to stop taking the pills, I spotted Prozac Backlash,, a book by Dr. Joseph Glenmullen. Having put my personal anti-depressant nightmare behind me, I had resumed my motivational work with women and was appalled at the growing number of women who were being handed powerful and debilitating anti-depressants as though they are a kissing cousin to a baby aspirin. I took Dr. Glenmullen's book home, sat down with a cup of coffee, began to read and was totally unprepared for my response. I wept with recognition. I rejoiced to know my term in anti-depressant hell had not been blundering incompetence or the imaginings of a poetic mind.

"It is like getting an A-plus in a school assignment - when it comes to sitting the proper exam is when you want to perform," he said. "The real event is getting on the team, funny things happen at Olympic trials and there are a lot of fast men around at the moment. "I am sure that world record is not going to stay there long."

Clinton said. “No. But do I understand the sense of real desperation, trying to get a handle on this? Remember, in New York we want to know who's in New York.
