again. that may be true to a degree.
It is a gift, to remain in place, and sort successes in life attempt to succeed at attaining and maintaining employment, taking care of ones own food, shopping, bills, basics of independence and taking care of oneself.
I have noted through the years successful friends and colleagues that were prescribed anti depressents and faithfully took them through life's challenging processes after the big event typically (in one case, a friend's car accident ) (in another case a friend's spouses death and subsequent son's industrial accident) (in multiple cases depressed teen agers sent into foster care after incarceration or arrest for various drug addiction related crimes)
It may well be true there are side effects. I only wish a simple anti depressant would have solved my situation and impacts on me but was told that wasn't available and wouldn't apply. Life has side effects. These anti depressents may very well have side effects, but in the adult friends I watched who told me they were going for help after or during a tragedy that it was just too much so they were going to see a doctor, all of them told me it would take time, but they were going to fill a prescription. And each of them kept working. Each of them kept their employment, each of them kept parenting either their old parents or their little kids.
So taking anti depressants may very well have side effects but it appears to be like a bicycle getting a new tube for a flat tire so it stays on the road and you continue your commute or your errands. without that new tube or tube anti leak that bike may not stay on the road. The bike, albeit like you, is on a road, on a chosen path, in a course of employment you already trained for, in a set of relationships you were either born into or committed to or are responsible for as a parent. So getting the tube additive or the anti depressant, which may not be without side effects to either the bike or you, at least it gets on it roll and keeps rolling along, which is your life, staying on the course your choose or woke up to.
it may be you would like a new paint job instead on your bike, or to change the gearing, add a new shift mechanism or temporarily change the steering acuity before you add a pedal drive- electric motor on the side. That would be therapy. Making additional changes to your bike as your ride is probably a role for you and the therapist.
The anti depressant, albeit with assorted side effects, impact, is you getting your bike gear lubed or tube leak proofed as you keep rolling along.
I think they have different rolls roles I do. and I respect that nike feet covered bike rider taking the challenge on the long tours, while others race up tri athalons and yet others brave traffic in Paris. Way to go! bike riders Ride on!
