i have to say, re: the take drugs to be able to work problem -- of course you'd rather not. so would i. but my life is so unbelievably much better now that i'm sufficiently medicated to actually be a functional human being. it's expensive, and i literally have to double- and triple-check that fistful of pills morning and evening -- so many pills! -- but my life is good now. it's amazing what i can do when i'm not miserable and in pain all the time. not to mention when i've had a good night's sleep, drug-assisted or otherwise.
take the drugs, glenn-glenn. take the damn drugs. take as many drugs as you need to feel as close as you can to normal, and stop worrying about it so much. some of us just got the short end of the genetic stick. 200 years ago, i'd never have survived childhood, much less become a productive member of society. even if i made it to adulthood, i'd have had a squint, and horribly crooked teeth, and a face covered with horrible suppurating acne. i'd have stringy greasy hair and an oozing rash on my scalp all the time. i'd be crippled with arthritis and immobilized with depression. no doubt i'd be so horrific i wouldn't even be able to get married and pop out babies till it killed me like the average woman did back then.
i owe it all to the wonders of modern medicine. it's a gift, that we have access to drugs that can help us have real lives. and think of how incredibly boring the world would be without us.
