Has This Administration Reduced You to Drug Use?

[Dem Agog]

Just wondering. In 1999/2000 I went through a bad, awful breakup from an abusive criminal bastard. I never felt the need for antidepressants. I worked through it on my own.

Fast forward to 2005. I'm five years older. Five years wiser (maybe?) but I noticed that while I could rebound from a physically and emotionally abusive criminal ex-boyfriend, I am now so depressed I am looking for solutions medically, which may be W-boy-Satan's plan...

Has W, and his gang of criminals, murderers and thieves caused you to move to medical therapy?

1. Only all-natural health foods for me! Like beer! Lots of beer!

So partly natural... ;->

3. I can't afford the good stuff anymore!

4. Well, I've been on anti-depressants

I think it is more a personal thing than otherwise, also has genetic connections.

Although I drink some, I try to remain mostly clear-headed. Here's the thing, with these bastards in charge you have to have your wits about you to survive.

Here's to the survivors! :loveya:

10. Actually, my drug use is down, thanks to this maladministration

I haven't taken Prozac - which BTW has always worked pretty well for me- haven't been taking my blood pressure or cholesterol meds.

My wife has decreased use of her asthma medication and has not had her thyroid medication in nearly a month (BTW, she had half of her thyroid removed a couple of years ago due to cold nodules and tests showed soon thereafter that the remaining side was not working)

With no insurance we haven't been able to see our doctor in over 8 months. So when our prescriptions lapse due to time, we can't get them refilled, but hey, we can't afford any of these meds anyway.
