anti-depressants Options

[Retrogressive]

what's your opinion on this generation using a lot of anti depressants? more than any other generation? could it be similiar to taking riddilin? sometmes it seems like our answers are always medicine nowdays... do you think anti-depressants are wrong or/and unhealthy? i read an article about how they can actually hurt people even more.

you're such an ass.

but, to answer your question, as asinine as it may be, i cut myself from the ages of 13 to 18. in between, i was abusing drugs to the point where every time i used, i was testing my body, hoping it would be the last time. when i was younger (13 and before), i threw myself down stairs, took knives to my arms, and swallowed allergy medication, tylenol, aspirin, peroxide, and cleaning products. i promised my mother every day that the next, i wouldn't be around to make her angry.

but, my "personality disorders" have absolutely nothing to do with my intellect. in fact, half the geniuses of the human race have been a bit mad. chew on that.

i was a straight A student through grade school and junior high. as i said in a previous post, about 4 or 5 years ago (the start of my time in high school), my behaviour was increasingly dangerous and my mental state was deteriorating. THAT is why i decided to take the step and seek help. all of the years before had built up to a complete and utter breakdown, i was abusing drugs two times more than i had in the past, i was cutting myself on a daily basis for no reason, i was banging my arms, wrists, legs, and head against things just to bruise myself and feel as though i had experienced adequate punishment for disappointing the world. i was losing my temper at the drop of a pin, breaking down and blacking out literally, over spilt milk. basically, i was losing complete control over my mind and my actions. i almost lost every credit i'd earned in highschool because i was absent so often. i fell apart. but, that did not take away my ability to think intelligently.

i am a very smart person. crazy, different, unique, troubled, or normal. i'm smart regardless.
