A pill is a pill is a pill. <BR/><BR/>Better living through pharmaceuticals, baby.<BR/><BR/>And I love the kicky new bag. I love the kicky old bag. I would get hives trying to decide which one to carry every day...Poopshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17174638845924331440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17399290.post-35065812267839035632008-07-14T09:20:00.000-05:002008-07-14T09:20:00.000-05:00While I'm certainly not saying it's the same thing...While I'm certainly not saying it's the same thing, hubby sometimes struggles with the fact of taking meds for ADD. He questions what he would be like without them, and is it really who he is when he IS on them...and quite frankly, it's not like I always notice if he misses a dose...he gets a little more childish and loud and random, but it's not until he points it out that I really can say..oh, that must be it.<BR/><BR/>I don't understand the struggle myself, as I've never had to take pills in that way. But I tell him that hey, it's the way you are, and if a pill fixes it so you can actually focus at work and not sit and space out then isn't it really worth it? <BR/><BR/>It's worth it to feel okay, and function. You deserve that!Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01142389198186796200noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17399290.post-16304672741465226282008-07-14T01:51:00.000-05:002008-07-14T01:51:00.000-05:00Having been on anti-something or others a good chu...Having been on anti-something or others a good chunk of my life, I've come to grips with it this way:<BR/><BR/>If I have a headache, I don't blame myself for getting it, like I did something stupid to earn it. I take a pill, and it's better. If something's wrong with me, and a pill can make it better, I'll do it.<BR/><BR/>The only reason it bugs you, I'm willing to bet, is because a mental problem STILL has the stigma of something "you should be able to get over yourself with enough will and hard work". I call shenanigans. Anxiety and depression are chemical misfirings your body does on its own no matter how much self-lecturing you might do.<BR/><BR/>If your body needed extra calcium (like most women do), would you sit there and go, Nope, I can tough it out, my bones will fix themselves...? NEEEEEOO. You'd take a sodding calcium pill because your body needs it. So your body needs Xanax or whatever it is you take. You don't have to wear a scarlet letter, and you don't have to be a ashamed because you haven't done anything wrong. IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT.<BR/><BR/>Just be glad we live in a time where you CAN take a simple pill to make things better. I think of that each day when I take my own pills, that my life is so much better because of them. I can be the mum that Maxman needs because of modern medicine. Seriously, that's all that matters to me.ChestyLovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12252367020621459091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17399290.post-22281770442122082332008-07-13T17:06:00.000-05:002008-07-13T17:06:00.000-05:00Just remember to wear SPF under the gloss unless i...Just remember to wear SPF under the gloss unless it has some.

I've been on and off them, and I think on is better, but I understand what you're saying about not wanting to feel different or dependent on drugs. But if they help, why not.Elspethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04902156528137763262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17399290.post-52790650248011447892008-07-13T13:08:00.000-05:002008-07-13T13:08:00.000-05:00Well, I for one am really happy you're blogging mo...Well, I for one am really happy you're blogging more... being one of those sad, no-life type people whose main daily entertainment is reading people's blogs...<BR/>Seriously.Skyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200824050116746716noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17399290.post-45195750046994554982008-07-13T11:36:00.000-05:002008-07-13T11:36:00.000-05:00I need to send you a pic of a business I ran into ...I need to send you a pic of a business I ran into when I was in California recently. It was a combo Chimney Sweep-Tarot Card reader shop. They just go together, like squid and apple pie, huh?<BR/><BR/>It's a good sign that you have been able to see the quirky humor in life again, even if Cabela's is FULL of crap like that!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
