> "Masking" is not meant as a derogatory term...I use it to illustrate the underlying problem isnt "solved" while on AD's....it is controlled
> by blunting the feeling of it.~~~I did not take it as derogatory, just that my preception of what is actually occurring for me is different. I see it as my med was/is making that complicated system that's all part of the fear reaction thing was/is being made to function "normally". I also believe there are very few disorders or malfunctions that are "cured". I do believe there is decent treatment for any number of illnesses and the way this is accomplished is by altering function.
> So I guess the AD's do "right a wrong" in our chemistry, in a way. If only they could do it more naturally and augment our bodies inate ability to keep balanced.~~~ The "righting of a wrong" is the way I see it and I try to see it as no different from a malfunction of our "physical" functions that we need chemical or other means of intervention to balance for good functioning and a good quality life. I stress, I TRY, as even knowing what I know, the stigma stuff and preceptions of society I still allow (at times) to influence my more evolved and correct thinking.
