A story and a question.

You are an old soul ,, that is some brave shit right there big love and WWG1WGA 😇

🙏 God was protecting me…

That was so irresponsible of that “Dr./counselor” to offer a 17yr old drugs aka medication to mask your grief. Death is a natural part of the ebb & flow of Life itself. They probably contributed to the opioid epidemic, back when they were passing 💊it out like it was 🍬candy!

Part of the problem is that you’re not allowed the time to grieve. If you e marred to someone from r 30 years and they die, you get 3 days and then you’re expected to be back at work. Most people can’t do it that time.

It is so hard to find a good psychologist. I was so blessed to find a woman who had a doctorate in psychology. She went back to school to get a masters in theology. She taught you through God’s eyes. I was a Pharmacist near 3 mental clinics. Criminal

Thank you for sharing such a personal story Rachel.

Very inspiring. Good for you! Real talk there. I’m still fighting my demons

What a very wise 17 yr old. Sorry for your loss

You made the right choice. Dealing with the pain the way your mind naturally does is the only way, anything else is an escape or worse. The difficult paths are generally the best and most growth. Pills and drugs prevent your minds way of healing. Doctors, therapists, psychiatrists generally do more harm than good.

17 is a strong number. ❤️

When I was 15 I was physically hurt and required surgery. Post surgery I was given oxy, a lot of oxy. My physical pain diminished within a month, it was there during PT, but very manageable. What I never saw coming was the numbing the pills provided to my emotional pain. Addicted

I have heard of this happening to others too and it’s heartbreaking! I hope you have overcome that struggle now🙏

I lost my mom & dad 3 months apart & son’s dad 3 years later in the same month. I agree, went through it all no drugs.

I’m so sorry for what you had to endure 🙏

5 of my ex-girlfriends are dead and my ex-wife ended up paralyzed. Im currently married and have been for 20yrs w/ 3 children. I was getting scared everyone I dated ended up dead after we broke up. Crazy my wife messes w/ me about being a blk widow. She says she’ll never leave.

When asked in a poll. Councilors & psychiatrist we’re asked how many ppl they have cured. Of the group. One councilor said he cured one. (1) in years of practice he cured 1. God is the absolute truth and healer. He gave us a strong mind. Remember prayer and faith.

Your story is thought provoking. You can’t heal a wound from that kind of “trauma” if you don’t grow from the pain. You had to become the result. Organically is the way intended. May the best come your way

So glad you got through this Medication should be a last resort especially when a person is still a teen God bless you

Thanks for sharing your sad but inspirational story.

Such a wise wonderful young woman. It is true, sometimes strong emotions are scary for you and those who care for you, but I think the only way is go through them the best you can. Ignore those who tell you it’s wrong to feel how you feel

Amazing. God blessed you with an inner "knowing" of which I wish I had when I was handed a prescription for that type of medication. . Thank u for sharing your story.🙏❤️

A great story and a great message.

Not to steal any thunder. Actually I'm proud of you. You realized the pain was the medicine. For those that don't and take the meds. Puts them in the hot seat for gun licensing. They will tie your med record to your gun license. Avoid this trap. Just a heads up.

💯 Excellent advice

I wish I did the same when my wife died. To this day I'm dependent on drugs to live a normal life.

God bless

So smart

🙏❤️

So sorry to hear this story. But, you are 100% correct.

Most don't need them that's the sike doctors ANSEWER!! But to bad it's to late for so many!! The librals are a perfect example!!

🙏🙏🙏☮️❤️

3 times Ive had docs try to put me on meds. The 1st was after my first kid, tried to give me Prozac for baby blues, 2nd was unidentified tingling in my hands and legs, tried to give lexapro for anxiety, 3rd was again Prozac for situational depression. Didn’t take any of them.

at 14 i told my dr i was feeling down, not myself.. put me on paxil. shit is NUTS
