I was talking with a friend the other day. Really intelligent guy. He has a 7 year old nephew who is having problems concentrating in school. So like every other kid who can't sit still a psychiatrist has suggested he has ADHD and prescribed medication.
While I find this disturbing I am no longer surprised. It seems like everyone has ADD, ADHD, PTSD, and OPP. Wait, that last one though.
Anyway what set off alarms was when he went on to say that his 7 year old nephew was also diagnosed with Bi-Polar Disorder. And another one.
Yes. Another over-diagnosed and mis-understood MOOD DISORDER. Not to be confused with Multiple Personality Disorder which is now called Dissociative Identity Disorder and is a DISSOCIATIVE DISORDER (meaning one breaks from reality by producing personas).
Ok so let me get this straight. A 7 year old kid, an under-developed man child that has only been on this earth for 7 years lacks the ability to control his emotions. This child has periods of mania and then depression.
2 questions:
1. How much sugar is this kid eating and when is he eating it?
2. Are you fucking kidding me?
He is a 7 year old kid. Come on. And I know there is some asshole sheep minded parent giving their kid medication for this shit.
Which brings me to my actual topic. Medication is not a problem solver. NOT GIVING A FUCK IS.
And by not giving a fuck I don't mean letting one's responsibilities fall to the wayside or stripping naked and running down the street. I'm talking about being an independent thinker and not letting the rules strangle your spirit.
If you have so much anxiety that you have to take a pill to calm you down and then another pill for the side effects of the first pill and then another pill to sleep...guess what? You are not on medication you are on that BULL SHIT. It is time to let some shit go.
Your body and your brain are amazing together. Sometimes when you are depressed, anxious, or having problems coping with reality it is your brain telling your body that something needs to change. Not giving a fuck may be a solution.
Side effects include:
Attitudes from friends and family trying to guilt trip you.
Restless foot up someone's ass syndrome
Creativity
Low Tolerance for Bullshit
Farting in public
Marijuana Use
Promiscuity (i just realized this word has "Prom" in it lol)
Shortness of Work days
Insomnia due to COD
If you experience any of the above symptoms please continue therapy. That means it is working.
And I'm out.
