They are a cure for the immediate brain chemical imbalance, although

constant negative thoughts can cause the brain chemistry to again "go

out of balance." Most also recommend some "talk therapy" or

something similar, to help determine where the negative thoughts are

coming from.

"Numb your thoughts?" The SSRI antidepressants have little or no

effect on "clarity of thinking," if that's what you are referring to.

Antidepressants don't dictate feelings. If they did, what do you

think they would "tell you to feel" and when?

i can see that.

 

All i can say is, when very similar symptoms occurred 'here' in 1988,

i would have swallowed drano or battery acid if that had been

necessary to stop it from happening, so your attitude makes no sense

here.

 

Namaste,

Hi Tim:

 

Thanks for your thoughts.

 

I will allow them to roll around

with all the others until one day

they all drop away and are seen as

the imaginary vehicles they are.

 

As far as my body symptons are concerned,

I am lucky compared to some. There are many

many people who suffer physically much more than

I and my little suffering allows me to have compassion

for them. Instead of trying to fix them and life

I can now just live my part of it the best I can.

 

Funny thing about sharing your experiences on lists

like these. Seems everyone but myself knows the answer

to all my lifes problems and from just a few emails

scattered here and there.

 

The mind likes to solve problems and will jump at the

opportunity to do so.

 

Namaste,

 

Michael
