antidepressants and spiritual progression

[GreatSpirit]

From personal experience, use psychotropic drugs only as a last resort. I got put on Abilify (an antipsychotic) a few years ago and the side effects were so bad for me (nonstop restlessness) they prescribed a medication for that medication and I'm like screw this crap, it's going to kill me. Taking a med for a med? Never heard of it!!

So I quit using that stuff and never used meds ever again except for my herb which is FAR better for me. The meds didn't even do anything for me because I had no problem in the first place. I just ran my mouth too much and SAID crazy stuff because my ex-drove me crazy and SAID I wanted to kill myself so boom got put in the hospital. All I needed to get better was time.

"It's a genetic thing" works half and half with me. My dad is diagnosed bi-polar but he is a lot worse than me, plus he doesn't do anything and has a poor diet/diabetic, and has cancer....go figure.

With my "depression", it usually stems from my own personal issues and acceptance issues so I can't say there is a "chemical imbalance" in my brain.

I saw this video and it just reaffirmed my stance against head meds (unless you really really need them)..


And remember, whenever you are "depressed", there is always someone else in the world who is far worse off than you, so think about that.
