That was always the problem with me and my meds.I wanted to run the massive gauntlet of my emotions.It was only the last bout of crippling depression when I thought,uh oh, this is really not fun.
But given my time over,I would still choose the highs and lows,rather than the middle lane of my husband,who once even admitted to envy.We had just walked out of Notre Dame cathedral, where I had been reduced to tears ,by its simultaneous beauty and the glorious soaring voices of the choir.He turned to me and said,"sometimes I wish I could feel what you do"He asked me to try and explain,but I couldn't,it was impossible.

Optom, since you talk about medication, you realized that Ennis and Jack were taking booze like that too ??
Instead of being lovers au naturel right away ! So, society pushed them even on that mountain to take alcohol ?
Shame !
?
Au revoir,
hugs! Maybe, they did not need booze after, hopefully ??

I always thought the alcohol was a means to an end,the emotion and attraction were there, but it took the the loosening/relaxing power of alcohol to liberate them,particularly Ennis.
I sometimes wonder if Jack is almost unconciously or even deliberately trying to get Ennis drunk.I do not mean in a calculating wicked way,but as an aid to something he has acknowledged in himself and sees in Ennis.
We recognise fellow sufferers. I was very anorexic in my teens and to this day have to watch myself. But I can now spot an anorexic at 50 paces,We intuitively know.

I'm just sitting here, shaking my head, wondering how exactly "society" pushes people to "take alcohol"? What are you talking about? People CHOOSE to drink for a multitude of reasons. SOCIETY doesn't make anybody drink. I really have a hard time understanding what in the heck you are talking about sometimes, Artiste, and I wish you wouldn't just make far-out-there statements like the one above, without any explanation. Some people could take offense at many of the things you say, including this one, so I wish you would back them up a little better. Thank you.
Artiste:
I do not take offence at what you say so far... and so you do not understand !
Many persons are blind that they are brainwashed in order to take alcohol, you know that don't you ?
At least, I am not an alcoholic nor a drug taker nor pusher !
Did you not see that Ennis and Jack take alcohol ??
No one can be that blind to that ??
