[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote] Why do soooo many people, so so many, men, women, children, need these medications. Are we all really this broken that we must rely on SSRIs and such in order to prevent us from all committing suicide? How pathetic is this? We must look at the bigger picture here as to why so many are dependent on these meds.[/quote]

Because the world kind of sucks. There’s not much of a social support system in place, so many are one medical emergency away from bankruptcy, the world is heating up and no one is doing anything about it, we are at end stage capitalism and spend our lives working jobs we don’t care about…  I could go on. The question is why are there so many people out here rawdogging this life without meds or drugs or alcohol or whatever helps you feel better?

I’ve been on an SSRI for about 10 years.  It’s made me much happier. I’ve gone off a few times to see how it is and for a pregnancy, and life is just better when I’m on it. Why not take it?[/quote]
Then why, if the world sucks so bad, why bring kids into it? I don’t agree at all that life kind of sucks, my life is much better than the life my grandparents lived so I just try to put things into perspective. I am not and refuse to become a victim. Not sure how old you are but I am old enough to have witnessed and known the greatest generation and they would be absolutely appalled at our weakness. It’s a group think victim mentality we’ve all adopted. I try to teach my kids that you aren’t supposed to feel happy constantly, it’s perfectly normal to feel emotions, we need to teach coping skills. It’s okay to feel anxious and depressed after a major life change, it’s not a pathology that needs to be medicated necessarily.[/quote]
