the powers that be just don't want people to feel better- as opposed to feeling ill or unwell all the time!! Psyche problems aren't just about what's in your head, a lot more of it has to do w/ the fact that you feel like sh** all the time!! Ya' just don't feel good-- and people ask you what's wrong, you say you don't feel well, they say "what's wrong?" you say "I just don't feel well!!" Well that doesn't sound like more than just complaining-- BUT THEY DON'T GET IT!!! I know for me, I wake up feeling wretched all the time and it doesn't go away! And feeling like that makes it seem like life is not really worth the trouble! Most psyche meds make the physical symptoms worse (and there's the feeling of wanting to jump out of your skin)- hey AMA & u DEA guys - if you made some decent meds and made them available to those who need them, a lot of people wouldn't need to street drugs!!!!! You try taking Prozac for a week or 2 and see how it makes you feel! Then maybe you'll get a glimpse... If psyche meds worked, people wouldn't stop taking them!!:banghead:
There are some good medications out there. Some people have no chance of living without them. You must decide what is your worst problem, the pills or the mental illness. Medicine is not an exact science. Theres a lot of hit and miss before people find that balance. What is the nature of your illness? There might be natural treatments available for it. x
How long have you been feeling like this? How long did you take Prozac? Psychotropic medication usually takes more than 2 weeks to even work....
I think you are right. It may be in your head, but it's your head that controls everything, and you do feel awful and live an awful life. As Virginia Woolf said, It is far harder to kill a phantom than a reality.
i had to medicate myself....but not numb myself. you gotta do the work even while medicating so you can get off
maybe they built society that way to make you want to try and make yourself through the bullshit that they feed you on a regular basis and be like "wait a minute why am i complaing?" and be like "why cant i be that guy thats up there with the rest of the people " that keep on trying to say that you failed like famous people or just people that work for a living then they turn around and say something along the lines as "i deserve to drink this alcohal after along days work" type of shit that they build these human brains on to make them start talking that way
