You definitely dodged that bullet, kudos for that.

It can't be that hard to figure out that all of these medications only kind of put a make up onto a serious wound, making it even uglier than it already can be. Mental health isn't supposed to be treated in a violent and suppresive way that ends up zombifying every feeling you can have. No matter what you're dealing with, we surely need to feel better but it shouldn't be at the cost of you not being aware and truly awake on every situation. More than being silenced we need to be able to understand what is going on there and why.

The problem with medication is that your body gets too used to being protected (instead of fighting on its own) and in this particular case, makes you feel calmly happy, instead of having both body and mind strong enough to deal with wounds, you can end up being resistant to mostly nothing. This can't be the end of a problem either because it seems you're not really dealing with it, instead you're only shutting down the symptoms, making it very hard to know what could be going wrong in the future. The same happens with the causes, they could remain hidden if you don't try to chase them to the core without turning the pacient into a sleepy sloppy mind.

Thank you for being aware on the problems we face in societies. It's up to us to adress and be on point on every situation. Every post I've seen from you matters. Cheers.
