I assume it's because every individual out there whom doesn't suffer from depression or chronic anxiety has this personal belief that everyone is in the correct state of mind to work, which is frankly far from the truth. Entirely honest I will be, I suffer with chronic pain that shoots throughout my whole body on a daily basis. I can barely get out of bed, or even talk for that matter because it tortures me so absurdly. People who don't experienced these illnesses just simply believe it's oh-so easy to just work. If I wasn't eligible for disability, I would rather take my own life for that'll be far less painful than working through this intense chronic pain everyday.
Thank you strongly for mentioning Richard Dawkins. I might just order his "The Magic of Reality" soon.
Damn, I wish I was even nearly as intelligent as you. Is it because you study a lot? I rarely ever study, which is probably the reason for my stupidity.
We're sort of having a conversation now which is leaving me laughing slightly, but it's only you're extremely helpful.

Maybe give some free advice about: Mental health? rainhorse68 answered Monday January 30 2017, 9:12 am: I believe our bodies know no difference between a percieved threat (in the case of anxiety disorders) and an actual physical threat? And therefore issue the same neuro-transmitters. We kick into our 'fight or flight mode' just the same. The responses are physical. Real, if you like. And how many think depression is just 'being in a bad mood'? Here in the UK even our health professionals are often criticised for not correctly diagnosing and treating psychiatric disorders. We marvel at medical/clinical achievements while matters psychiatric are always the 'Cinderella' science, unfortunately. I admire Dawkins tremendously. 'The Selfish Gene' is a master-work too. I think you will enjoy him. There is some absolutelt brilliant reasoning that genes propogate ideas as well as physical information. Purely because as civilisations and communities of men evolved, those with the best ideas flourished and increased. While those with crap ideas simply died out, usually as the inevitable reult of their crap ideas! He affirms that genetics are not striving towards a known or predestined final result. A plan demands a planner, and Dawkins won't have that! They are just selfishly taking any and every opportunity to promote and prosper their own particular 'brand'. I don't know that I'm exactly 'intelligent' but thanks. And you are by no means stupid, that much was obvious form the first time I read your questions and replies. I do often find that we encounter (many!) people whose understanding of even the simplest things around them is frankly, pitiful however. I'm sure you do too, eh? Like most people my loves and interests come and go. But good conversation is something I have never tired of and doubt I ever will. If you feel like shooting the breeze, or sharing some of your writing you could email me? artemis86@hotmail.co.uk.
And no more 'stupidity' comments please. My dear, if you were stupid I would have become bored with you LONG AGO! [ rainhorse68's advice column | Ask rainhorse68 A Question ]
