    "Drug-seeking" is a bullshit phrase and a bullshit concept and the older I get the more it just makes me angry.

    Why

    The issue isn't that you're seeking drugs. The issue is that you're seeking the wrong drugs for the wrong reasons.

    But that gets into weird Wittgenstein's Bettle bullshit. How do you know somebody is seeking drugs for the wrong reasons unless you're a telepath? You can't.

    Health care organizations often have lists of signs to watch out for with drug-seekers, but those lists are sketchy at best, and aren't really based on objective scientific study.

    I don't know if we need objective evidence but yes the behavior s could be refined better.

    Dunadan, because of people who talk about others being drug-seekers, i almost didn't seek help.

    Seriously, this shit made me so ashamed. i'm still extremely ashamed of having to take meds because of people who throw the term "drug seeker" around. Like i'm somehow doing something bad, like i should just grab my bootstraps and un-depress myself by sheer strength of will or die trying.

    I didn't enjoy it that much to start with so I just stopped playing when it turned into that.

    That's cool, but it's because of awful people like you that Brutal Legend has a bad reputation.

    For shame.

    Shouldn't you be in bed being too depressed to sass me?

    Brutal Legend was advertised as an action game. All I wanted was an action game I could rock out with some Judas Priest while killing hair metal enemies. I get they were trying to deepen the game experience with RTS elements, but sometimes you gotta keep it simple.

    I spent five years unloading skids(pallets) like those off of Wal-Mart trucks. Both with manual handjacks and case by case when they were loaded so shittily that there was no other way. Or fell over (and potentially on top of me and others). Or on top of each other. Or one on the bottom busted open. So, fuck no. I wouldn't wanna.

    The drug seeker label doesn't often get attached to antidepressants very often that I've seen. That's a whole different kind of othering. That's usually reserved for pain killers or stimulants. Now, SOCIETY treats people who take head meds worse than pain meds probably.

    I take both so fml

    Yeah "drug seeking behavior" is a thing that's almost exclusively applied to people looking for narcotic painkillers or stimulants or sedatives. It's pretty much never used for anything else.

    No joke, this is a true story that made the news here.

    This woman was on sick leave because she had gotten severe depression and a burnout.
    During sick leave, she goes to Cuba with some friends. She takes pictures of her gatherings, pictures in which she is smiling. She puts those pictures on Facebook.
    The boss sees her pictures. Decides that she cannot be truly depressed, she's smiling in pictures! Cancels her sick leave and fires her.

    It still makes me angry, and I don't know how it ended.
