The pills must stop!!!

Many people are lost, like I was, trapped in a maze of anxiety/depression/anger - whatever negative emotion you can think of - from here on, I will refer to this as the "mask". The fact is, all of these boil down to the same underlying issue - one's inability to deal with the stressors in life. Many who face this end up consulting their doctor, and the doctors push the pills! Ugh! I truly believe now that these things are evil! So why are they prescribed so heavily? Well, it's simple - the companies that manufacture these pills are billion-dollar companies who are obviously doing quite well by promoting these things, especially to all of the doctors. Also, the doctors just don't have enough time to deal with these things properly. Do the drugs help? Yes, in many cases they do. But they are only band-aids that will mask the real, underlying problem(s), and the side effects can be quite substantial. Granted, I am no doctor, and again, my issue was more on the anxiety side than depression - though they often go hand-in-hand (which they did for me). I do know that the real big stressors in life (like a death, or a divorce, or even a marriage!) can overwhelm even the strongest of us, which, if not dealt with properly, will lead to our mask. So for some (with only depression), the pills may be enough to get them over the hump and back on their feet again. I guess my real point is that there is an alternative to the pills. The fact is that those of us who are struggling with our mask, really just don't have good stress coping skills, so the stress has escalated to our mask. This is what Lucinda will teach you in her program - how to cope with stress!

Note: I am in no way affiliated with Lucinda Bassett or her Midwest Center for Stress and Anxiety. But honestly, I would love to be! I really think her program can save the world - there are a lot of lost souls out there that just need to be shown the way. I want to help them do that!!
