Hey, thanks for that, it was important.
>playing a role of the happy functioning guy who >has finally recovered.Bingo. You need to fake it all the time. For inststance, I wanted out of the hospital so I faked being well just so they'd let me out. Was I still suicidal, of course. Was I any better than when I went in? No.
But I guess the point I am trying to make is that this society is like "The Emperors New CLoths". YOu know the kids story, where everybody pretends that the emperor is wearing cloths just because they don't want to get into trouble.
Then one kid says, hey, the emperor is not wearing anything.
Its the same with happiness. You can't just say, "Hey, recovery is possable cause look at all the happy people around you"This society would fall flat on its face if everyone went around acting like how they felt.
Antidepressants have just made the situation worse. They've made it even harder for people to express how they really feel. Cause now, its not normal to be depressed. If you feel like crap, you've got to see a therapist to get that fixed up.
Maybe we all feel like crap for all I know.Like I originally said, I cannot trust my own presentations to the world, therefore I cannot trust other's presentations.
