The Answer

My back hurts everyday so I take Tylenol, I have heartburn issues throughout the day so I take Prilosec, maybe I get tired and I take a fatburner to give me energy and help me lose weight.
That is maybe 1/3 the actual amount of pills that some people take. AND IM NOT SAYING THAT THEY ARE ALL NOT NEEDED! My point is that as a society we are beginning to move, or sorry, we have made the movement towards making things accomodate our lifestyle...our very unhealthy lifestyle. Our bones ache because we don't exercise and are gaining weight. LETS MAKE A PILL FOR THAT! So now we can take medicine that allows us to do nothing all day without pain or discomfort. nice.
I saw a tv show the other day about a girl with "social anxiety disorder." Are they just making stuff up now? It's just like card companies and holidays....making excuses to sell more products. I mean i feel for the girl shes got something going on but in the end its just stress! I'm pretty sure the show just helped her handle it with practice in situations. I believe these problems exist because we let them...instead of addressing the issue and working on fixing it, we give it a name and then it becomes an excuse. This may be random but my sociology class has been studying this aspect of "comfort drugs" for awhile and I think its interesting.
