Such a simple word. Taken for granted by normal people. People who don't have to fight within themselves for survival.
We do not wish for riches, or fame, or power, or love.
I see this word...normal, in so many posts. The goal of so many, maybe all, who suffer with anxiety and depression. That one word that means so much to us.
I want to be normal.
We wish for that one elusive, simple thing.
Who would have ever thought how hard it is to be normal? Not exceptional...just normal.
So I wish each of hope and peace...I wish we were normal.
I think normal is an illusion. Something that we imagine everybody else is. We are all wonderfully and uniquely made, so how can there be 1 "normal"? Who the heck gets to decide what "normal" is for everyone else? My normal may look different from yours. Or do you mean not depressed or anxious? I can agree with that for sure!! We all want that, don't we? I hope you're seeing a doctor and getting the help you need. If not, I have to ask why?? Why not? I do hope your help is working for you even now. Don't give up but keep seeking help until you get major relief. It's so worth it to feel better. Okay?
If you want to tell me more or straighten out a misconception, write to me here and I'll write back. Take care...
Okay, you have to hang in there and that can be frustrating when you just want to feel better. I suspect you know that hopelessness is a symptom of depression ONLY...not a fact. You are not hopeless. Are you still on an SSRI or did you go with something else? If you're still having difficulty finding a drug, at that time it's probably time to go with the docs trained best in finding the right drug match for you...a psychiatrist.
I'm sorry that you're in a tough phase right now. I wish I could take it away from you. If you ever want to treat yourself with vitamins instead of SSRIs, etc., I know the person to tell you how to do it and I can connect you two. Take care...
I do not take the SSRIs prescribed. I honestly only resort to them at the worst of times.
They alleviate the pressure but the side effects are the reason I won't stay on them. I am going to try to find a way to manage this without the SSRIs if I can.
I am scheduled with a psychiatrist on the 18th.
I am interested in the vitamins as an alternative.
Wow, can I relate to what you are saying. The fight is exhausting. I do know that we can feel better. That’s keeping me going. I think it is hard to see “ the light “ when you are in the middle of a down period in your life.
I hear you, my friend. Well put. At this stage for me, that ‘normal’ seems so out of reach , but I will strive to claim small victories , and hopefully those will build on each other. I know this is attainable for you , too.
the rich and famous struggle its just hidden behind the fame till the work dries up then the mask falls.the nearest I have to normal is freedom of the mind.if I could have that I would be in a better place.
I think normal is a myth....we are the new normal who are real, genuine, honest about expression of our issues, open to suggestion and advice, giving and relieving...and we all here have similar issues...as the old 'normal' are that same as us but just living in denial about it. Here I feel perfectly normal.
