Hi willyee,
I'm no way a fortune teller, but something told me that when I last saw Amy's thread when she was gathering information about her story, I knew there would be aspects of it I would agree with, but also I knew there would be parts of the truth which were not put into print and these aspects although may notbe relevant to the average joe (make the first page etc) are relevant in a sense to the reader as it shows what lengths people with mental illness have to go to gain relief...The people with mental illness seem to always have the short straw with stigma etc so to speak..
When someone goes to have a drink of alcohol tonight, be they a reporter or anyone in the general population, or smoking a cigarette even in a social setting ~ could it be considered a form of self prescribing - after all it is a drug..
Everyone has there own unique story, fortunately some can put theres in print for viewers of millions of people, whether its on the internet or in the newspapers - although I doubt these parts will be put into print lol
Kind regards
Nick
