> I have to agree with you on this one. I feel so numbed from the real world and secure that I cannot seem to function emotionally without the small dose of Zoloft that I have added to my meds. It's hard to tell what "normal" is having never been there, but my hubby says it's not as great as I think it is! LOL!
As far as their being some kind of 'normal' life without meds that is *wonderful..euphoric*, I really don't think think that is true. Even if we use meds not because we are 'sick', but to make life and this world a bit better, is that really so bad? What I think has happened is we have created a world where 99.9 percent of us *do* need some medication to get by...to get joy out of life. Maybe that goes against the whole current medical thinking of mental health, but maybe it's a truth we just don't want to admit. I am not ashamed to take medications so I can *feel* more deeply..so I can sleep better..so I can love *better*.Anyhow.....just some thoughts.
Peace,
Jay
