This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Anon was looking for a long term solution.

Anon found a solution.

Is taking long term.

Questions the definition of what is an addiction.

You come off SSRIs (with or without) tapering and get "The zaps" and tell me that's not addiction.

That's such an apt description.

[–] itsAsin@lemmy.world 0 points 5 months ago (1 children)

you are describing "chemical dependence".

addiction is more than that.

If someone smacks you over the head with a bat, is that better or worse if they strike you over the head with a bat?

Da fuq? Is everyone in this thread on meds? As someone who has only ever taken aspirin and the occasional cold relief, these comments are wild to me.

You all list meds as casually as a pharmacist. Lol

lots of therapists prescribe drugs these days, because reality is ... bleak for some

as for me, i've never taken medicine in the last 15 years or so, and i try to avoid taking any, except maybe the occasional mescalin. but that is for recreation and not for sleeping disorders.
