Your knowledge of "ZIRP madness" is the same as Jdance/YNS's of crypto white papers. But I like the posts though

i spent 3 1/2 years walking past the mises institute a few times a week on the path to non-graduation.

Yeah. I took a class or two at the Harbert Building (Across From the Mises Institute). What of it?

As someone who is currently taking Prozac, I can say that while I would rather not if I could, I feel like I feel better and function better since I went on it like 5 years ago in my 20s

I was extremely unstable and irratic, and I'd always get these wave of emotions that were overpowering my ability to think clearly so I'd never be able to have a stable routine.

To this day, I still have a lot of the same problems. Insomnia. Terrible/no sleep pattern. Substance abuse.

But I am able to keep it together better than my old self. I was literally going into these 'do or die' mindsets which would make me out myself in danger for some psycho reasons.

Anyway, no more of these random, crazy thoughts. The mess stopped that, but I am mixed about how I feel.

It pacified the unhappiness inside of me, but didn't remove or cure it. It's still there, and so are the problems that caused it, but it doesn't drive me crazy like it used to. So that's alright I guess, because before I was really at the point where I wanted to walk in front of a bus than live out life. So good. Maybe.

We assume all of this stuff like suicide is bad, so preventing suicide is good, and thus medications promoting mental health are good because they prevent suicide. These are baseline truths to most people. I guess through another lense, if the world viewed suicide as good, then these medications would therefore be bad, I suppose, so hence I have mixed feelings.

But yes, they work. I was definitely more of a danger to myself and to others when I was not on them. But is that good? In another scenario, if I was dead, would that be better or worse than the current scenario? I'm not sure. Not sure how to calculate that out.

From that perspective, these medications could possibly be doing a disservice by making -EV individuals so apathetic about their problems and issues that they no longer care enough to want to die since it's whatever to live the rest of life constantly remembering your trauma and agony all of the time, but then it's all good because who fucking cares . Not you, not me, at least no me when I am taking my meds. KEKW
