judged!

Ok I think my prozac post hit a nerve i've had four comments on it so far.  Hmmmm, I knew that posting anything on it would spark a comment its not an easy thing to blog about really cause its deeply personal for some people and who gives me the right to judge them etc based on its usage.  And that wasnt my intent.  I was merely attempting to voice my concerns with it especially when i hear a parent say "i dunno the kid is a bit squirely maybe we should put him on prozac.." and the first thing i want to say to that parent is "no, lets just try being around as parent first.." and when a friend.... hmm maybe i should just stop here.  I think im just gonna keep digging deeper and deeper into the abyss.  Let me just yes ive had depression in my own backyard so its not that im critical of its fix, that i dont mind and i understand that, its misuse of it bothers me.  Who decides its use is totally up to them.. so i guess i have no leg to stand on when i see that parent and their remarks.  That is kinda wrong of me.  I cant help but to feel that way I guess. 

I think if prozac was changed with say alcohol or weed, we'd have no serious bouncebacks on this thread.  I dont think anyone would agree that yes hey you need to drink to get by or yer right smoke that joint, its been a tough day.  Yet you throw prozac in there and its a sacred word or something.  And its medical really ok I understand that.  I need this advil to cure my headache, ok, but i guess what im saying is me personally, ive always faught against that notion, which goes to my distrust of docs, my childhood etc. 

So I dont want to judge anyone.  Sorry if I offended, that was not my intent.  My intent was to attempt to write down some thoughts that bothered me that day someone told me "i feel like taking a whole bottle of prozac".. my blog entry was me going thru the motions to try and understand that.  Cause deep down I feel like I know that person, but maybe i really dont know them or anyone really all that well, other than myself.
