Crazy? What does that mean? I sometimes think I'm mentally ill or something. But, my T says that a person can have a problem and not be the problem. I liked that.
Besides, our society has a very inaccurate view of people with mental health issues. They think that "mentally ill" people act weird or don't see reality. I find that I sometimes act a little off/cry too often. But, I would not say that taking ADs means that you are crazy.
Now, if I can remember this for when I go in to see a Pdoc for the first time in my life. She will probably prescribe an AD. So, if you're crazy, a very large group of the people that you see working at the local store (my drug store has one bi-polar, one person with a history of depression who was hospitalized for it and me). That is only the people that I know about in a staff of less than 20 people. I suspect you work beside people who have mental health problems or see them visiting their kids at your local school. The "mentally ill" or "crazy" is everywhere. We just have a very good hold on reality and need help with negative thinking/other depression related symptoms. A mental health problem is an okey thing to seek help for. (I need to remember this.)
We're all crazy. LaLaLa! LaLaLa! Let's go to the lunny ben together. HeHeHe! Heh, I don't need to. I hope you don't mind the humor at the end but I want to try to be in a good mood before I go to bed tonight. Sometimes, if I can get my mood up, I sleep better.
