New protected entry... message me if you're not on the list and would like to be. Protected because there's a video posted in which you can see my face, and I'd prefer to remain more or less anonymous on here.

Protected entry
So I've written a new entry, but made it protected for privacy purposes... I think I have most of you added to my list, but if you can't see it and think you should be able to, feel free to let me know.

I would also like to say, while I'm here and thinking about it, that I've basically been updating almost everything BUT Xanga these days. So it must look like I'm dead in the water around here, but the truth is that a lot has been going on, and I've just been writing about it in a bunch of other places. Mostly on one particular closed forum I've been visiting rather a lot in the last few months.
In essence, though, I'm having a pretty hard time, with a lot of things. And the stress isn't going to be over for awhile. *sigh* -
Is our society too dependent on medicine?
Absolutely. For example, GPs will give out antidepressants to people who show signs of depression, no matter what the underlying cause may be. In fact, nobody asks about underlying causes.
The real problem, though, is that the public has no more interest in underlying causes than doctors do. Doctors can recommend diet and exercise for weight- or diet-related problems until they're blue in the face, but what are the chances that a person will actually go off and radically change his or her life just to accomodate some doctor? Nope... they, too, would rather be on bunches of pills that make their vitals okay, and continue to live the way they want to live.
So... it's a double-edged sword. We are all part of the reason why.
I just answered this Featured Question; you can answer it too!

Okay... so apparently Xanga has decided to stop sending me Daily Digests?? Which means I haven't caught up on my subs in a very, very long time. I apologize profusely for this. I am going to try to work my way through a few of them, but I may not get all the way back to where I left off reading... so if something important happened that you think I should read, please do let me know!
In other news, I have the cold from hell, and am only just now starting to feel like I have any energy again. I've spent the last three days snivelly and vaguely feverish and zombie-like. I also had to miss school today, because I simply could not muster up the energy to get ready and leave my house, which is bad because Tuesday is my fullest day -- I have a lecture or lab in every course I'm taking on Tuesdays. But what can you do, right? I'm just thankful that I'm starting to come out of zombie mode, even if it means I'm going to have a shitload of catching up to do, especially in Latin and philosophy, wherein I have lots of homework to do (Latin) and my first paper to write, which was actually due today (philosophy). I wonder if my philosophy prof will accept my sick note for Monday and have mercy on me in terms of marking me late for that paper. I may try it and see what happens.
Hope you're all having a good day!
