while anxiety and depression are "normal" responses to certain situations/stimuli, they are decidedly not normal in excess. The trick in today's "prozac world" is figuring out what is "just life's ups and downs" and what is clinical depression or anxiety. If it interferes with your life, odds are you're in clinical land...and for that imho meds should be seriously considered. But only with professional help. And realize that people are different...just because your friend responded to a certain med doesn't mean it will work for you. I was on long-term xanax (albeit low dose), but that is decidedly *not* for everyone. Worked well with my system though...ymmv.
I've given up on perfection. I just want to be in the moment. And *that* is the toughest thing I've ever pursued...but when I stop pursuing it, it will come.
uh oh...feel a zen moment coming on.
