In reply to What did people do before antidepressants?, posted by WorryGirl on October 20, 2002, at 19:49:30
I know what you mean,
In the past I believe society functioned
more as a family, and peoples emotions
were addressed more by the public.100 years ago, they didn't have antidepressants
but they did have religion that nobody doubted.
This can make a big difference. It seems today
that people just do whatever they want, and it it bothers you than it must be your problem.
I am normally distubed by violent and sexually
explicit TV for example, it seems that chemically normal is serene and calm and just let all problems pass by regardless of their importance.A vision that really depresses me is something
I once saw on a Record Album Cover, I don't know what band it was but it had a picture of a man on a lawnchair in the middle of a super poluted city environment it said "crisis,? what crisis"It's so true, for me I think there are things about the world that need to be changed, and I want to do it so bad, but when I think of my powerlessness, I get depressed.
My grandmother who suffered from depression, would sit in a chair in the courner for 8-10 months of a year. That what she did. She had 4
major depressions and sat through each one. Not very fun. It fills me with tremendous respect though.Linkadge
