God I Hate Scientology

I have stated repeatedly that I am not an advocate for antidepressants. They are handed out for the most ridiculous things nowadays; however, I do believe that there are people out there who do need them. I do know people that have true clinical depression that have been helped by them. I just think that psychiatry needs to stop relying so much on them alone.

It's like the whole ADD thing. I do believe that ADD exists; however, I do not believe it exists nearly as much as doctors say. Most just need a combination of good discipline and a good ass-whooping. And giving children diagnoses of bipolar disorder is unacceptable.

I read a story where a mom took her 18 month old baby to the doctor because get this, it wouldn't stop crying, and the doctor diagnosed it with fucking bipolar disorder and then placed it on lithium. Lithium! To an 18 month old baby! I do not even want to begin to imagine what lithium could do to the body and sodium levels of an 18 month old child. My last psychiatrist was hesitant to even put me (at the time, 22 years old) on it; he said he would use lithium as an absolute last resort. But even so, I would have refused to take it anyway.

But this is inexcusable (not the title, of course):

Bijou Needs A Heaping Serving Of STFU Pie

I'll come back to the whole who the fuck is this chick, but....excuse me? Just buck up and stop being such a fucking pansy? Jesus H Christ! We depressed people would have never thought of doing that! Way to go, Bijou! Seriously, someone give this chick the Nobel Prize or something.

If it was only that fucking easy! Just another assinine opinion from a Scientological asshole and spoken like the typical moron who has no idea what true clinical depression is. Until I see the letters MD or DO after your name, shut the fuck up. Shit, even if they are after your name, shut the fuck up . I wish all celebrities would STFU and stop voicing their opinions on anything and everything and expecting the public to listen to them.

Ugh, this article has me so enraged, I can't even think of anything good to say. I just want to find this bitch and knock her lights out. Although my outragement- is that even a word? oh, who cares- on her comment is nothing compared to some of the comments posted on the article. The ones that state that depression is not real and another link said that if depression were a true physical disorder, then why do people's depression levels change depending on what happens to them day. Some bullshit of some sort like that. Basically saying a physical disease does not get better or worse. WTF? My depression levels have no reaction to what happens. Even if I am around someone I really enjoy being around or doing something I really enjoy, if I am really depressed, it is not going to change it. The only thing that has any bearing on making my depression worse is the weather, hormones, and something really traumatic.

And physical diseases can change in severity. Many chronic diseases run a relapsing-remitting course. Stress, weather, and even hormones can all affect the disease. I think several, if not all, autoimmune disorders are notorious for having symptoms and then either a disappearence or reduction in severity of symptoms. Relapsing-remitting MS, Crohn's, rheumatoid arthritis, and lupus are some I know off of the top of my head.

I just wish and pray every night that everyone in the world could just experience TRUE clinical depression at least once. The kind of depression that makes you feel so horrible and you can't explain why. Where there is no explanation for your bad feelings. The kind that no matter what you do, it will not subside. The kind where you feel so bleak and worthless. The kind that makes these fucking assholes realize that YOU CANNOT JUST SNAP OUT OF IT.

Who the fuck is this chick anyway? Stupid fucking cunt.
