Do you think people with asthma say this? What about diabetics? Or migraine sufferers?
Any medicine you take--whether it's for physical or emotional health--could potentially do some harm down the road. But most people don't have much of a choice. Diabetics and asthmatics would die without insulin and inhalers. Migraine sufferers would be ill a lot of the time. And so they take their medicine without much thought about those few years down the road. We should too.
We are lucky in that our dis-eases won't kill us (though we could potentially kill ourselves), but without our meds, we would be very, very sick. And that's no way to live.
Emotional health is just as important.
