Wow, can I ever relate to this idea. I still remember where I was when my Zoloft kicked in. (I am sure it kicked in slowly, but I didn't feel it before that moment.)
It made me feel jaw-dropping amazement; I took an inventory: energy, more talkative, less introverted, much less depressed, looking forward to something, no cloud of doom pressing down on me. It was breathtaking.
I also remember exactly where I was when I realized that this must be how "normal" people feel most of the time! That was almost too much to believe, that someone could feel that way, most of the time, with no particular effort or machinations on their part. Wow again.
