Food for thought.
Emotions are a natural part of life. Should there really be a pill for every type of emotion to mask it? You have any type of emotion in front of anyone now, they say you have some type of disorder and you should seek help. What the heck is going on here. Should we all just walk around with a pez dispenser full of anti-depression, anti-human medication? There are obviously underlying issues. I guess the easy way out is the way to go. Not enough economical stimulation going towards researching the power of the mind, because that would take away from pharmaceutical economic stimulation. Why heal someone, lets just create androids. Is there any compassion left? Evidently not, just power and money.
Lets take for instance anxiety medication. It can create anxiety, and heart attack. I knew a girlfriend who has been prescribe anti-anxiety medication for over 13 years. When she did not have her medication she would not leave her house. From what I have heard from her mother it was never remotely that bad. She began taking those when she was sixteen. So, people whom I have talked to disagree with me, saying oh well those people have a chemical imbalance and need medication. Is there such thing as completely coming full circle and ruining someone’s chemicals so that their body will no longer produce a natural chemical that it needs? I know this girls history well, and I am not a psychologist, but realize why she is that way, and it has gotten ten times worse from lack of compassion to really wanting to heal someone.
If pills are the in thing, I want one for hunger, sadness, loss, anger, anxiety, depression, then I wouldn’t be me, I would be some other person. All of these emotions are a natural part of life, unfortunately I would say a pill is most likely not the answer for the problem.
Take a step back from yourself; really look deep within. If it is an emotion that has or is holding on too long, do process of elimination on your feelings. Try to come up with reason why, not to justify it, but why would you be feeling this way. You might be surprise as to how the answer will mysteriously reveal itself. Next step, to eliminate what it is that binds you. Remove it, take a deep breath, and tell yourself I am normal and everything will be fine. I know it sounds simple, most likely is not; but, I know it works, and has worked on others around me I have suggested it too. I am simply trying to have compassion, in this cold unreliable world.
