A paralyzed man can go to the strippers, doesn't mean he can mow his lawn.
Do you work? If you are in a stressful situation, do you ever just take a walk to clear your head and get away from it for a few minutes? You aren't stuck here, if you need to go home or get away, no one will stop you and a big corporation like IBM will have an employee wellness program in place to assist you if you need it.

A paralyzed man wouldn't be condemned for going to a strip club, he would if he mowed the lawn.

No, I didn't, but since I'm not in agreement with you, and you can see there's little chance of changing my mind, you're interpreting it that way. Fair enough.


ETA: Sorry, I didn't actually mean for that to come out as snippy as it did...

Ok, just for kicks and giggles, I'm gonna take the other side of the debate on this one: sunlight deprivation can result in SAD... so her Dr prescribed the sun vacations (which require wearing a bikini) in order to absorb the most sunlight, and therefore reap the most benefit.

And just to make up for your lack of ability to find pics?

Remember folks we are talking about Canada here. Canadians are mostly honest, so they can pay people for any little ailment.

Americans would take advantage of it, thus here it should be eliminated.

My GF's roommate just went through some crazy depression. Mental breakdown and all. She did not leave the apartment for the entire summer and had trouble getting to class. She still doesn't enjoy going out but is doing a lot better. Infact she just started driving a month ago.

I don't know exactly where I stand because when I'm down I do like to get out. But in her case it seems like if an insurance company is going to pay for you to stay at home you better spend lots of time in mental hospitals getting better.

If you are off on insurance for depression here in canada, your doctor WILL tell you to do ANYTHING that makes you happy. We have no idea why she's depressed, mayb events at work caused it? Or maybe she just has an imbalance. Either way, this isnt abnormal or uncommon around here.

Hell, im still off work from my foot on compensation, and my doctor tells me to enjoy myself and do what I like. (I work in a refinery, and their worried about infection, im off till april)
