Anti-depressant rant #2

Two posts in one day, within an hour apart - all on the same subject. Yikes. I hate taking medicine. I hate the stereo-type that I feel like I might feel (does that make sense) if others knew I take anti-depressants. I hate feeling like I have to take medicine to cope, compared to others in the world that get along just fine without it. & yes, I have heard the lecture from the doctor that my body lacks serotonin and I need to look at it as a deficiency just as I would when I need extra iron in my diet.  Read more >

  The husband told me last night he wants me to start taking my medicine again.Ouch. Is it bad that I am taking my medicine, but he thinks I am not? I guess he can blame my mood swings on me not taking my medicine (& I did threaten to stop taking them last week, so I am sure my threat didn't help) but truth is, maybe I am just moody? Why is it that some think anti-depressants should be the cure-all and fix-all for everything, and every day after swallowing that white pill should be filled with puppies and rainbows?  Read more >

  The husband and I got into an almost heated discussion the other night. Back story: husband is a positive person, I try to be but sometimes I'm just not. DH can find a bright side to every piece of mud he sees and sometimes I swear my contacts are caked in it.Somehow or another we got onto the subject of happiness, he feels happiness is a choice people make. I disagree.I do think "faking it til you make it" works for some, I also think some people do decide to be miserable and look for things to be sour about. But sometimes for some, I think it can be hard to actually be happy.  Read more >
