Hi teabags,

Now there's a fine question.

For me I think we would all be the same, just without medication, still worrying, thinking about the past and future, trying to make everything better...........

why would we be the same?.........

because its not where we go that makes any difference, its about making peace with ourselves, and we dont need to be somewhere else for that to happen, just right here, right now.

The past has gone, the future is unknown only in the present can we be at peace with ourselves, and as we do this, slowly, the world opens up to us.

It is our desires, our wants, that block us from seeing clearly.

There is a thing called " right view " I asked a question to this person a few weeks ago, (I'm mark) his answer is very helpful, worth listening too at least 10 times

Wishing you well

I was having the same thought the other day but about a physical problem with my thyroid. I thought if I was on a desert Island what would I do. But then again you could say the same about certain types of food. Without certain types of food, like chemicals that you need but can only get from fish, you wouldn't function properly and would have deficiencies that would cause any number of health problems. You take what you need in the situation that you are in.

There ends the similarity between physical problems and mental problems, as an underactive part of the endocrine system can't also be treated or effected by psychological therapies, and the situations that your in. If you were on a desert Island, your need would be greater because you would be socially isolated, which might make your problems worse. Don't metaphorize everything, you are in the situation that you are in with the options that you have. If pills can be a crutch to help you impriove then they are an option that you can use here and now in the situation that you are in now.
