Wow. I think it's a pretty powerful statement
to say that no one on this newsgroup has any
intention of getting better. In fact, it blows
my mind. That's a pretty big assumption, to claim
to know everybody's intention... Maybe you're equating drug free with
"better". Geez, do I have to pull out the diabetic
metaphor again...nah...why bother...
Your post struck me as incredibly self righteous ("I was smart
enough to get help, get better, and not bother anyone")
I do know that your response has a lot of hostility
in it and that makes me wonder if you're really
all that much better, as you claim. Furthermore,
if you're "bothered" by folks on this newsgroup, why
do you visit? I personally have found that when I'm
bothered or irritated by other people--bothered
enough to put a hostile post out---that there's
something in myself I don't want to look at.
This is, in fact, a very good support site for people
who are looking information, not judgement, about
certain issues and medications regarding depression.
I've found it extremely helpful and have had people
reach out to me with their support many times. One
nice thing about this site is that posts like yours are
more the exception than the rule :-)
