What is wrong with you people??? I have suffered from a mood disorder all of my life...that would be 48 years, but I never thought it gave me the right to vent my anger towards anyone. There are times when the medications work and I feel human and there are times when it does not and the pain is excruciating and I cannot get out of bed. Though I may be impatient with those who do not understand what mood disorders are all about, I simply keep my distance if their attitude bothers me. But to lash out, especially at fellow sufferers, never seemed an option. Though I suppose that anger can be part of the chemical imbalance. Still, it is sad to see this angry sarcasm.> > > > > >>>The lowest ebb is the turn of the tide.
