THIS needs to be spread around much more broadly.
[UPDATE]: Looks like I'm getting downvoted by people who cling to their meds. Try physical activity and adjusting your self-talk. Try having goals and making steady progress toward them. What you need doesn't come from a pill, it comes from living life.
- mrguyorama 3y ago>What you need doesn't come from a pill, it comes from living life. Fuck off. Imagine telling someone with astigmatism that they don't need a physical modification and augmentation to their bodies, but rather "to live life", whatever that means. Meanwhile, after decades of swearing I didn't need a pill, I didn't want a pill to "change" me, etc, I got on pills, and my life actually works. I rode a rollercoaster for the first time in decades the other day, zero butterflies in my stomach, zero panic or anxiety, zero inappropriate fear. I'm likely only alive today BECAUSE of medication. The whole point behind how new medications are tested are that we often don't have a great understanding of HOW a medication works, but that doesn't matter, because it demonstrably works in some percentage of people, and for those that it doesn't work for, often another medication might. So, with zero respect because you are actively harming people, Fuck right off.
- copperx 3y agoThanks for saying that. Although I've resigned myself because I know that people will often not acknowledge and have empathy and understanding towards a condition if they haven't experienced it in their own skin. It's depressing, but it seems to be part of the human condition.
