Refusing to work oneself into illness is a radical act and an effective form of protest. Call in and take a health day whenever you can.
Comment on ‘Girl, Take Your Crazy Pills!’: Antidepressants Recast as a Hot Lifestyle Accessory

Coming from a woman who has been through all that shit since 1999, my take on antidepressant pills is generally:
“It is no measure of health to be well adjusted to a profoundly sick society.”
So my escape from depression has been a lifestyle of vigorous outdoor exercise & healthy food & sunshine. While still participating in the modern rat race to survive. Gotta work fucking hard to rise above society’s ills.

Completely agree. The forces of the medical establishment have been trying to get me to take antidepressants. I have so far resisted. Among other things, I asked one of the doctors what percentage of people he’s dealt with have simply started taking them and it becomes part of their routine basically for the rest of their life (which is what I’ve mostly observed) and what percentage take it for a short time and then are done with it because it fixed their life situation for them (which is the scenario he was describing as what might happen to me).
He didn’t really address the question directly, which to me was plenty illuminating as to the answer.
