I take twenty different medications a day some prescibed by doctors others based on quackery but what the heck as long as they are not giving me cancer or overly loose stools I know people who are depressed as fuck that will not take anti-depressents I consider myself a happy go lucky chap always finding joy except when I am feeling persecuted i have a complex but thats another story when i do not take my anti-depressents I am a little sadder more abrasive and concern about my place yet do I think myself as this person no I have a chemical imbalance brought about my modern living when I have evolved to dance around a fire and hunt and pick berries i have a chemical imbalance and the wonders of modern medicine allow me to be more myself yet this sad fool fills himself up on carrot smoothies coffee enemas and gets stuck with pins and he is unhappy he chooses alternative and archaic treatments born out of minds that don't know what cells are made of but generally talk like they have a clear picture of the ghosts which emit the toxins through your bones sure it's not perfect their can be side effect and mallodies born out of such modern medicine but it is a matter of percentages some won't even try and some that do look for shadows and find them and declare them alive some would say I am crazy because i have a mental condition untrustible with thinking for myself or for others and must be managed and treated like an infant that doesn't understand the stove is hot mothering tones condescention authoritative voices patronising advice by those who know better because they do not have a chemical imbalance but i do take my anti-psychotic medication i do not deny it or see it as removing my essense from the equation I am a better version of myself, and depending on what medication I take it ups or downs the dials of my mind for me it was about finding the right medication I am not psychotic 24/7 My thoughts are not all aberant and wrong I am capable of making sound decisions I am able to see when I am unwell and confusing the noise for the signal some struggle with that more than me but that does not make them wholey incapable or able to be redered non-compas-mentis but many will and they will create a monster in their head confusing jumbled and incongruent thoughts with a propensity for evil and wrongdoing far beyond that of someone not declared mentally ill and of these non-mentally ill people how many of them really do think that clearly or are able to recognise their own bias, preconceived idea, predudices, problems, heauristics and self serving thinking. they are not self aware or inclined to question ones own beliefs and judgements. They are ingorant, aberant, neive, a mental health issues we are all born into that we only overcome through knowledge, and understanding. who are the real monsters and are they judging others who are less so, those who are able to doubt their own self-righteousness. I am better for modern science and miracle medication, which inhibits or induces certain chemicals in my brain to be utilised or quashed in such a way that I can be my best self. Some turn thier back on that some are unlucky some just give up to soon in finding the right medication that will allow them to thrive medication is benificial and I'd rather be a person who recognises that than a person who thinks the only way they can cure their particular malady is to get rid of all the five G towers and wifi signals that are fucking with their peace see a doctor test out some meds if they don't work try another if your doctor doesn't work try another but don't be fooled into thinking just because your homeopath is more loving or makes you feel better about yourself doesn't mean they will cure your ailment and if they do you probably just needed some, love, care, and understanding to overcome your issues #poetry #funny #works Published 10-2-2026 Written on https://freewriter.app
