| i refuse to take anti-depressants. if i'm upset about something, i dont want to "trick" myself into being happy. also, if something makes me depressed (like i was a few months ago when i was unemployed, or now because of bad luck with women), i want to be upset about it so that i'll be motivated to fix the problem.
like when i didnt have a job, i was so miserable, that i was doing everything i could to find a job. i was looking online, in the papers, sending my resume everywhere. if i had been on anti-depressants, and more happy with my life, i might not have been so gung-ho about finding a job and i might not have landed where i am now
i understand that there are some people who suffer from uncontrollable depression, and for those people medication and/or therapy is necessary. but when i'm depressed, its different. i know the root of all my problems, and i'd prefer to face them head-on
and when i'm upset, i definitely dont turn to liquor. it just makes me more depressed |
