> what's wrong with bandaids? bandaids are nice to have around when you need one.
~~~Nothing wrong with bandaids at all, it just wasn't the way I looked at my med use and I was told by some that was all using meds did just cover up problems.

> i don't look at them as being different. i take Lotensin everyday for my high BP, and Effexor XR everyday for my moods. both make me feel better. i don't see any reason to construct a false wall between them.~~~Very nice to hear that. I do think most feel that way.... it's a small group that feels different. Everyone has the right to freewill of thought, I just don't find the "it's just covering problems" mentality very helpful, constructive, or truthful when coming from people of faith.... or anybody really.
