Miracle pill for mental health issues

What if there was ONE miracle pill that made all that cease?

Who would I be when it’s all said and done?


Would I still be creative?
Would I be likable?
Would be catatonic?
Would I be a good mother? A good wife?
Would I just sit like a bump on a log watching the world pass me by?
Would my husband leave me because I am not who he married?
Would he be happier because I am not who he married?

Sure I want things to stop, but there is no selecting WHAT changes. I own at least ten blogs. I do all kinds of arts and crafts. I have a pretty good writing style. People seem to like what I write.

Some of the best writers and artists have undiagnosed or untreated mental issues. Is that sad or what? What if Poe had been given a pill for his depression? What if Virginia Woolf was able to get treatment? What would we be reading and loving now?

I am scared to death to be fully cured because it will take away what I like about myself. I am scared that if I don’t get help I won’t be able to live a functional life with my family. Why should I have to choose?

I know I can’t be the only person who feels this way.

    you are DEF not the only one that feels as if you would loose everything you like about yourself if you were to be completely cured. i tried millions of distractions, but nothing was long standing enough - i drove my husband (who currently hates me) away because of all this. the only thing i can say in self defense was that I was not aware of my behavior and what it was doing to him…and us.
