If there is a point
To this autumn of my life
It is dulled by pain.

SO LO

2008-04-06T21:01:51Z

My foot is tangled

and i am stuck on the bottom.

Despair.

All systems have failed except the most imaginary

and they are full of giant nasty space bugs

that simply refuse to eat me and be done with it.

i fear giving voice to my feelings

lest it give them form and existance

beyond my feeble own.

i am becoming done with this place.

i suck so much

there is already becominig

a paucity of light

in my vicinity.

Drugs can not repress negative emotions, But will harm.

2008-03-29T21:32:52Z

It took a freedom of information act to expose the truth. The drug makers have been hiding the negitive studies.
http://www.counterpunch.org/cox01272008.html

Now a new Study: Antidepressants Work No Better Than Placebos for the vast majority of depressed people.
http://medicine.plosjournals.org/perlserv/?request=get-document&doi=10.1371/journal.pmed.0050045

The drug makers have been out right lying about the efficacy of antidepressants.They have been caught red handed.

For the majority of people, the drugs are no better then snake oil.

If the only problem was that, the drug is a placebo for the vast majority people who have been given it, I would not care.

But it is far from the only problem!

The Physicians' Desk Reference lists the following adverse reactions (side effects) to antidepressants among a host of other physical and neuropsychiatric effects: manic reaction (mania, e.g. kleptomania, pyromania, dipsomania), emotional lability (or instability), abnormal thinking, alcohol abuse, hallucinations, hostility, lack of emotion, paranoid reaction, amnesia, confusion, agitation, delirum, delusions, hysteria, psychosis, sleep disorders, abnormal dreams, and discontinuation (withdrawal) syndrome. Adverse reactions are especially likely when starting or discontinuing the drug, increasing or lowering the dose or when switching from one SSRI to another SSRI. Adverse reactions are often diagnosed as bipolar disorder when the symptoms could be entirely iatrogenic (treatment induced). Withdrawal, especially abrupt withdrawal, from any of these medications can also cause severe neuropsychiatric and physical symptoms. It is important to withdraw extremely slowly from these drugs, usually over a period of a year or more, under the supervision of a qualified and experienced specialist.

In addition to the adverse reactions listed in the Physicians' Desk Reference, the FDA published a Public Health Advisory on March 22, 2004 which states (in part): "Anxiety, agitation, panic attacks, insomnia, irritability, hostility, impulsivity, akathisia (severe restlessness), hypomania, and mania have been reported in adult and pediatric patients being treated with antidepressants for major depressive disorder as well as for other indications, both psychiatric and nonpsychiatric."

The vast majority of school and other recent massacres have involved people going on or coming off these drugs.

Many otherwise loving parents have killed their own children wile going on or coming off these drugs.

This website is a collection of 2100+ news stories with the full media article available,
www.ssristories.com

I have personally witnessed some who who became scary psychotic and violent wile in withdrawal. Someone who is normally highly, intelligent gentle, kind and loving. This is a person I dearly love.

For some people the often horrendous withdrawal effects last for years after quitting.

Withdrawal effects such as Suicidal thoughts, Suicide attempts, Homicidal thoughts or urges, Chest pain, racing heart, Auditory hallucinations, Visual hallucinations, Disequilibrium, Serious Headache, Numbness, burning, Electric zap-like sensations in the brain, Electric shock-like sensations in the body, Abnormal visual sensations, Spasms in the eyes, Loud ringing or other noises in the ears, Abnormal smells or tastes, Drooling, Slurred speech, Blurred vision, Muscle cramps, stiffness, twitches and much more. Most people describe it as hell.

Frequency of withdrawal reactions
Antidepressant______halflife_______Frequency of withdrawal reactions

Effexor____________5 hours_____________78%
Paxil_____________21 hours_____________66%
Zoloft____________26 hours_____________60%
Prozac___________4-6 days_____________14%

People can become completely incapacitated by SSRI withdrawal.
Reference: “The Antidepressant Solution” by Joseph Glenmullen, M.D.

Suicide, homicide, nightmare side effects all for a drug that is little more then snake oil for the majority of people.

What do you think should be done?

Should the drug industry be held responsible for their betrayal of the American people?

PAIN 4

2008-03-02T17:40:26Z

pain 4

My eyes close and roll back
not from pleasure
but from pain.
I have seen amazing things
but now i sit in my kitchen
slowly rolling inches
back and forth
in my wheelchair
as if it were a rocker,
going nowhere;
staring at the wall,
still seeing things,
traveling in my mind,
and writing them down
as if they had any value,
as if I had any value,
wishing i were dead -
could i please die now?
Is that too much to ask?
i have on fairly clean underwear
what more do i need?

Where is the relief?
it dances around me
throwing microbes my way
that hurt me
and taunt me
but they leave me here
wondering of their dedication,
senses of humor,
and work ethics.

I saw a suicide on TV,
she was hanging
peacefully
still.
She was so still
it is hard to believe it was more
relative pain
leaving
than staying.

A tipped chair on the floor
its life spilled
no longer needed
"wheels for sale"

I feel like a ship lost at sea

2008-02-12T05:35:24Z

I recently (2 years ago) got out of an abusive relationship. A lot of identity stripping and mind control. for two years I have allowed my self to train wreck my mind and spirit. I feel as if there is no place to sit down and rest, and no safe place to turn. My fear of the world around me has lead me to try and control every aspect about it. I have been left passionless and unsure of my place and purpose in the world. I have started reading the Tao and I have hope, but I have been doing this for so long on my own. I heed help. I don't even know what exactly I need. But I believe that wen we are on the right path the universe will conspire to help us along.

I come to you...

2007-04-25T10:30:02Z

I come to you
to share my story
to gain new strength
to share my wisdom

My story is like this.
Both parents unwed and users
Pregnancy came and father went clean Mother did not
Mother and my fathers best friend were drugged up father walked in to take her home
Fathers friend killed my DAD by a form of martial arts

~The Next DAY I was born~

Dropped off from one horrible place to the next finally @ age 5 I found a stable home

I will Speed up to more current
Junior and senior year of college Diagnosed with Breast Cancer
During senior year boyfriend maxed out two credit cards of mine and cheated on me

Better Times: I am currently @ graduation time although in debt 100,000 I will be the first to graduate with both bachelors and an MBA.

For years I have been the cheerful happy one despite some of undesirable parts of my unfortunate upbringing but now as I get older I have less tolerance for betrayal by loved ones more or less my significant other.

I have always been the strong one not having to lean on others. However I feel tired and weak of being so strong and alone. I have been looking for that someone to uplift me or cradle me in that safety zone.

I am glad to have joined this group and hope great advice follows!

Set yourself free...

2007-04-20T00:35:58Z

I woud like to officially honor and welcome all of you. I really want anyone who is part of this group to freely express themselves in whatever manner sees fit. Maybe you are an artist and have beautifully sculpted an emotion which can't be quite captured in words. Maybe you have song or a drawing that speaks to you and moves your heart. Perhaps you just need a place where no one judges you. A place where inhibition only stops you from growing. . I understand we all have vices that stunt our growth. We we born into this life to make and create our destinies. I feel our challenges are our greatest gifts at times. It takes great strength in a time of vulnerability to recognize this. For example I have started to draw since my eczema has been so bad. It has been very debilitating and emotionally draining, but drawing has helped soothe the beast that so longs to itch inside of me. I would like for everyone here to help and support each other in a kind and loving way. Honesty is also very important, but share your honesty politely. We want to come from a place of love when helping others heal. We tend to lie to ourselves the most quite often. Do not run from what hurts you, be strong and face your pain. Once you have recognized what cleansing needs to take place in your body you will have a better chance to heal. Please feel free to share with us your stories over any triumphs over any illnesses. Even if it helps one person, you are still giving to the whole world, for then they will share it with someone else. Take of the bandaids and whatever else hides you from the world. Bask in your glory and know that you are loved. We are all here for you.

Be Well, Joy

I did it...!

2007-02-22T20:45:20Z

The last two days i went to work wearing only a tank top with my eczema arms exposed. I was tired of hiding and decided if my clients walked out the door they weren't meant to be. Not one person turned away or looked at me in disgust. It felt very empowering and free. I have been itching less since. I'm very proud of myself.

New Age Robot behaviour~

2007-02-16T09:51:52Z

I grew up arnd. a lot of New Age / Witchy Women.
I am currently (tho getting fed up with!! ) part of a cyber group that has got this Unspoken RULE that is dominating the message boards.

How POSITIVE I am = How EvOLVed I am
.....................................................................

It's no longer about Authentic POsiTivity to Me.
It absoLUTEly is not a reflection of how Evolved or Soulfully Devellopped a person is.

It is [in MY Eyes] aNOTHer version of Women trying to be PERFECT.
The New Age Good Girl Syndrome, I call it.

I have spoken up abt. it & tried to connect it to my OWN good girly obsessions........... <---be compassionate.

It drives Me CRAZY.
I gues I've run into this attitude in Women AND in Men more frequently as I was trying to HEAL using "Alternative" [ to ME; the most Sensible, Ancient Wisdom Ways of Healing ] methods.........

When I was in SeVERE Pain (physically + emot. ) & therefore very Vulnerable tOO : I heard some of the most OUT of touch / downright MEAN / Not SEEing Me Garbage !!!!!!

It HINdered My Process, Added to My feelings that I was to blame for my ailments & left me feeling even MORE disconnected/unseen by a community I thought would "get it".

There.

Does anyone ELSE here have experiences with this ?
Where this INauthentic Jargon serves the OPPosite purpose ?

thx. for Hearing Me.
