and one last thing. most people recommend meds to help deal, i suggest that you take nothing. Take sick from work, lie to your friends if you must, but feel this. feel it all. It makes you feel alive.
Wow, I just could not let this go without a comment. Just because you are "sad" or upset, hurt, mad, etc., does not mean you need to go on medication. However, all of this could trigger a true depression and not getting treatment for depression is crazy. Just the comment or at least insinuating that anti-depressant meds keep you from feeling things screams a lack of knowledge. That's simply NOT how SSRI or similar meds work. They do not make you happy or keep you from feeling. That's more what booze, heroin and other drugs do. Taking those drugs are a huge problem. Taking anti-depressants, if needed, are not to be avoided by you or anyone here. A good doctor will decide if that is Needed or not. I'd just hate to have you or any other readers here feel that it's wrong to go on meds because DDJ or anyone else suggested that it was. If you have some medical knowledge or background DDJ that supports your comments, I'd love to hear it. Otherwise please be careful with suggesting people forgo proven medical treatments when they are indicated. Going on medication, if indicated, will not keep anyone from feeling but rather correct a chemical imbalance that may prevent them from healing and honestly sometimes living and functioning.
