Yes, i agree that the use of all kinds of drugs to 'cure' people and it
being seen as a miracle medicine has gone out of hand.
The question underneath is why they are so popular? It all rigt for
people to feel happy, confident etc (right moods) and not to feel down,
melancholic, depressive (wrong moods). I believe it is just how you see
them; i can enjoy grief and melancholia.
BUT, i do not want to be _stuck_ in such a negative nor positive mood.
For people who feel permanent depressive, drugs are really a blessing.
People might just miss a hormone or enzyme in their brain which makes
them feel like shit permanently and then a drug is a cure. Or it might
be an emotional issue, where profesional help or just a supportive
friend is needed _aided_ with the use of a drug to take the emotional
peaks away
so that the boat which is stuck in the mud can be pulled loose again and
might continue her beautiful voyage.
I would not take drugs just to make the bad feeling go away for ever and
then I might be able to cope with life, coz I don't beleive I would live
afer all.
About a month ago i seriously thouht i went crazy. I felt terrified all
over, i just laid in my bed under a blanket shaking for days. ANd when i
looked at something it started to disappear, melt, glow or talking to
me. I did not know what was real anymore. What could i trust?
Suddenly guidance appeared and told me: what you feel is real.
Yes! What i feel is real. I didn't mind about the disappearing objects
in my room, the glowing, the voices. What I feel is real. If i can feel,
i'm alive.
E-motion=energy in motion. Not being stuck in the mud all the time.
