Reply #12: BULLSHIT! I would be dead without them now

I mean this. It's not hyperbole.

If you consider my life ... and the lives of many more like me ... "of little use", then I guess SSRIs are.

I am so sick and tired of people using one stupid study to prop up asinine, childish theories that all we need
is "hugs" and "the world is depressed" and it's "placebo effect. When I was three years old, my father began
molesting me. He also verbally, psychologically and physically abused me. My mother died from alcoholism when
I was a teenager. She also verbally and physically abused me. I am not the product of the "real" world ... I come from
a deeply painful past. I tried to kill myself before SSRIs. I have not tried since taking them.

THESE ARE NOT FUCKING HAPPY PILLS! They help people FEEL things when they've had nerve centers shutdown. They are
vital to our survival. People who pop off about crap they don't understand -- stuff that saves lives -- is nothing
less than the clear equivalent of fundies trying to save non-existent babies by opposing stem cell research.

I've only posted about my past a couple of times. I'll shortly delete this -- I'll let it stand to counter this bullshit
garbage yet again.
