An ode to something that's helping me out

So, all of you who are my close friends and family, you know how much you have helped me fight the demons, and without you I would probably have been a basket case by now. However, something else is also helping me along the way, and the ditty* below is in tribute to the miracle drug that is Citalopram. I'm bricking it for when I eventually have to come off them, but this is just a light hearted tribute**.

Who can take a sunrise, sprinkle it with dew
Cover it with choc'late and a miracle or two
Citalopram, oh Citalopram
Citalopram can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good

Who can take a rainbow, wrap it in a sigh
Soak it in the sun and make a groovy lemon pie
Citalopram, Citalopram can'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good

Citalopram makes everything he bakes satisfying and delicious
Now you talk about your childhood wishes, you can even eat the dishes

Oh, who can take tomorrow, dip it in a dream
Separate the sorrow and collect up all the cream
Citalopram, oh Citalopram can
Citalopram can 'cause he mixes it with love and makes the world taste good

Citalopram makes everything he bakes satisfying and delicious
Talk about your childhood wishes, you can even eat the dishes

This is just a light hearted view of my depression, writing about it helps me understand and get through it. The more people that understand the better. Please follow @timetochange on Twitter, and like them on Facebook too - facebook.com/timetochange. #befrank

Love you
