:D The silly title really isn't what this thread is about Kelly. It's about all sorts of phobias, fears and anxieties that are so, so common. The title was a silly gimmick on my part to get attention. Well not attention exactly - but an attempt to spread an understanding of the widespread misunderstanding of emotional illnesses and the tendency towards seeing them as weaknesses or something to feel ashamed of or embarrssed by and thus kept in silence. Me? I am a blabbermouth these days - is part of my healing. But your observations are VERY valid as far as over prescription of medication as a cure-all. Sometimes they are overused and other times they save lives. This is individual and can only be determined with the help of a trained physician and hopefully along with a therapist. There is also a "companion thread" called "Withdrawn". You could likely offer some good input there as well! Lots of us have decided that our animals should have been added to the mock "poll" here:D
