I've considered on numerous occasions to maybe start looking towards the use of antidepressants. I'm very glad that others can be helped with those drugs and in no way do I believe that they aren't helpful to a lot of people. But I've decided that I can't trust the science behind them and I'm trying to fix things on my own. They are a last resort for me.
I'll be sure to take a good look at my life when I experience more clarity. For the most part I believe my limitations have been imposed upon myself and those around me have been nothing but supportive. I can't hold others accountable for my own shortcomings, too many people already do that in the world.
I agree that pills are and should remain a last resort. I hate the side effects and am looking forward to quitting them. The science behind them is more like voodoo than what we think of as science.
My own limitations were self-inflicted, and I allowed myself to be treated as I was. Now that I have rejected emotional abuse and removed it from my life, my outlook is improving. I'm glad to hear you'll be taking a good look at things when you have better clarity: that's exactly why I shared what I did.
Stay strong.
