A Pill Popping Society

So when did society decide that it was no longer acceptable to have a bad day, to actually feel some kind of feeling or emotion, and that the minute you show any sign of a mood other than ecstatic, you need to be medicated… suppress any real feelings you might have… shove some happy pills down your throat and be jolly.

Seems like more and more people I know are having their doctors write them prescriptions for these “happy pills” mind numbing tranquilisers, to help them deal with their lives… and god forbid the effects wear off and you plunge back down that black hole. Oh no just double your dose, hey why not throw these trial drugs in for good measure too.

Yes of course there are people who actually do have a problem and need to take a cocktail of drugs to keep their moods in equilibrium, and without them, it just ain’t a pretty picture… so for those people we are grateful to have them mildly sedated when interacting with them for fear of our own lives. 

Well I’m having a shit day! I feel shit, grumpy, sad and angry… all I want to do is crawl into a ball somewhere dark and warm and forget about the world today… but I’ll just have to deal with it the old-fashioned way… suck it up and deal with it…
