I needed to go into the hospital for almost three weeks and I am on an atypical antipsychotic medication now that helps me focus my attention better and be more productive and safe. Sometimes I feel I need medicine because our society has lost touch with how to nurture our sick and needy. After my wife died in november of last year, I had zero emotional support. After nearly drowning in overwelming feelings of grief, I began taking medicine which allows me to not feel overwelmed by losing my wife. Still, comforting loved ones after losing someone close seems like a basic function, like farming and changing diapers. Is it my imagination, or is society becoming too mechanical and emotionally distant for our own good? Any thoughts would be welcomed. thanks

Society does not care. It is screw your neighbor before thy neighbors screws you. That is in terms of is rude, or taking advantage of there generosity (not literally) We are living in a cold self centered time.

I am glad you are coping and you are back at Psych Central. BIG HUGS
