Yeah, it talks about our neurotransmitters and how certain behaviors, drugs, and diet affect them.

I wanted to share that I'm reading a book called "Natural Prozac: Learning to Release Your Body's Own Anti-Depressants." It's WONDERFUL!!!

I've done a terrible thing. It's pretty bad, I don't want to say what it is, but I hurt someone I've been (I'm pretty sure) falling in love with. He said he doesn't know if he can ever get over it...like years down the road he thinks he'll still be thinking about it. I'm going to try to get him back...
