im sorry that you have a bad opinion of medications for depression and the like, but without them i probably wouldn't be here today. i have been depressed off and on since i was 12 years old when my father died.. had severe severe post-partum depression with both of my kids, and even a miscarriage that was early in my pregnancy. several years ago, it really took its toll to the point that was hospitalized for 8 days for severe depression. i have sought counsel with my pastor and it has helped me tremendously. i would have never chosen to be the way that i was, but the medication gave the me the energy to actually get up and do something to make myself better. i have 2 kids, and they were not even motivation enough for me to. chemicals being off balance in your head is a very dangerous thing, and simply saying "i handle life without pills" is just not fair to the people that can't help but take the medication, for a while or forever. frankly i would rather see people that need it, get on it, and then seek the help they need. i hope that you never need any "pill pushing" to make your life bearable, as for me, it saved my life. |
