Because some people continue to implicate the wrong impression that people on these drugs are "expecting golden pills."
First we are recomended to the drugs,as more likly a person does not come from the blue asking for say zolofot,and then when we find ourselves in deep we are in a sense turned on for using them.
I totaly resisent anyone appying i expect this or that.I work hard and always have at staying afloat,people who have seen me know i lift wieghts,thats not easy,i have finished a course in trade school for certifications,i manage my bills,and most of the times i do this with the meds not working,so where am i expecting this bliss from?I continue for many reasons,first i admit i am now unlike earlier in my use literaly scared to come off,second i dont believe id be any better off,and third i still have some hope.
What you dont hear a lot is the fact that perhaps we use these drugs because this is what we are told/led to believe is the right thing to do.See a professional,which we all have at one point or another.
What is failed to be mentioned is how many people go there entire lives,in and out of rehab for abusing acohlol and other "harder" drugs when all along they were masking,or self medicating because they suffered.
Perhaps we are trying to avoid this road by doing what we believe,or once believed was the right,and safe way to go.
Now of course,thanks to the internet flourishing in only this last decade,we are introduced to information we never knew,and we can see the dangers,but again it comes down to if you believe its a chemical illness of ANY sory,and if you believe that,then you understand like all illnesses we just want treatment.If you do not accept that unlike your entire body,the brain,one of the most complex parts of your body can also fall ill,but is somehow the one part that is immune,then obviously you will see us,or ill see myself as a drug seeking person.
Well so be it to those,it doesent help me to worry about them one minute,i cant fake feeling better.I dont expect applause,but like many i could have gotten into drugs on the street if i wanted to,instead i read,i incorporate nutrients,herbs etc,and i search for a drug to assist me.
I guess im lucky because i have had remission periods,however lots of people havent since it emerged,and especialy in there case they are not looking for anything magic from these pills,wow i can just go on and on,its just a shame how some people see us,i just this morning got my mother to lower an eyebrow in shock since she has been looking at the computer more so latly to see pictures a brother sends.Normaly she wouldent bother,but she feels more comfortable now thatll she understand what she sees,and i showed her various sites,and read stuff,and she defintly was impacted.
This unfortantly phillpa is a war i dont think well make much ground in during our life time,but with the internet moving as fast as it is,this upcomming generation will likly tolerate less B.S.We had the PDR only as of the point most of us prob took our first drug.Now the pdr is childs play in comparision to the abundant amount of information out there.
Sorry to kinda whirl around,im not good at getting my point out in short words.
