to figure out who I was again .Drugs are drugs and they alter us for better and for worse .Maybe rhey can make us feel happy with our "selves" which isn't a good thing if we are kiddinf pirselves and not thinking critically .
I feel the drigs wasted my time and were an easy escape so yes they messed up my mind .I stidied all thw phych meds and never got true imformation other than how they interact with nerotransmitters they still don't have clues about the big picture .

Big business becomes bad business and thats what the happy pill industry has become .We all so desperately want to be happy because we are told we can buy happieness ...why are the richest people so missereable then ?
