I agree......if you find a pill and work on "thought excersises,this would still be obessing on the fact you are somoehow sick"
"NORMAL" people just live,they dont have mind excersises,they dont think about depression,or work on it everday,and i know it sounds like asking a lot from a pill,but i personaly want to find a pill which i doubt exists that oblivates depression,so i can live a normal life,so i can never think abou CLINICAL depression ever again,and i dont mean the everyday blues,im sure next to clincial we all can handle those.
If i find a pill that works,i dont wanna do mind excersies,i dont wanna do talk therapy,i wanna forget what depression means.I wanna live,and without this crippling disesae i am postive i can handle external situations just as easy as anyone else does.
I wanna be like my brother,he has a poor diet,excesise is aline to him,yet he always is smiling,always in a postive mood,and cant even understand what i am going through cause this type of feeling is alien to him,he has his dowsns but they fade in a day or two,this is normal.
I want to deal wtih my situations,like a normal person,and i want medicine to do what medicine is supposed to,take it and dont think about it afetr,the only thing i want to think about is making sure i take my medicine.I can handle my life if i dident have this disablity.
But i feel this wont happen cause i dont believe we have MEDICINDE available to us,we have DRUGS,drugs which dont treat the direct pyhiscal cause due to the fact we dont know what is the culprit,whe have ideas,but we dont know.So we use what we have available to us,drugs,in thehopes that one of these drugs has a method of action good enogh to surpress our disease enough so we can function like we were supposed to function.I doubt all of us here,the tons of people need to work on mind excersises,i know all they do for me is remind me of the disease.
When im in remission,the first thing i do is call a friend,and GET OUT OF THE HOUSE,i go to the mall,i eat at arestarouant i do all the things i have trouble doiung,sitting at home doing a mind excersise is not what i wanna do.
This of course is my opinion,i dont pose my statemtns as facts ever.
