A Visit To The Shrink

[meteor]

Truth be told i think a lot of people go for some form of treatment during their life.

First time around was depression following a motor cycle accident,the outcome was a change of meds and it worked after a while.

Smoking and drinking was the next order, the drink being very hard, and needing much help, that was about 14 years ago.

Recently periods of stress and anxiety started to overtake my life, and the medication was leading to perpetual tiredness, along with meds for other things.

I stopped taking a lot of this medication and feel alive again, first time for years, i have control and energy.

I agree with one idea, you do have to want to face your demons and be treated, and its hard work for you and the folks around you, but worth the struggle in the end.

I personally dislike medication for depression and never took one, although I've already went through several "lowest" points. If depression is to be considered a disease, then the medication treats only the symptoms. There is no better treatment for depression than getting your life back on track.
I may one day be so demoralized I will take that kind of 'medicine', but I hope it will never happen to me.

Anyway: I am glad you feel better.
