> Second and i again personally attest to this,im sure many of us visit here,scan the page in hopes of seeing some thread titled SUCCESS,OR NEW MED WORKS! yess sounds as good as it looks.Its very sad we never come across that
~~~I'll be honest, I do think there are number of posts about success. I do think there are times these posts are not well received. I find that difficult to understand, but I have seen it happen. I think some folks who are having chemically enhanced success aren't posting. There are times boards like this seem to me to have a number of folks who are of an antimed faction. If one is having success and they attribute it to good meds, it's not comforting to come to share the good news only to feel you must defend it in some way. That can effect one almost as much as the trials of trying to find a success treatment because it is bewildering coming from a community you thought would be empathatic. Maybe no one but me has experienced this, BUT I know I have.
>and i do believe one needs to take a serious look at what they want from this resource,if just that a resource,than one needs to be careful they do not fall into the pit of becomming obsessed,and should limit their posting to asking or needing an answer to a question,because it is possable to get worse from reading others miseary,lets remeber this is the ground of suffering and we need to remember its all in one place and not to let that sink into our minds that we are comptly doomed.~~~True. There can develop a group dependence that may not be therapeudic. I understand it, but I know I've had to be very careful and I've experienced times it was good for me to take a break.
