Have you ever thought that your reality, your brain, your genetics, your psyche, are not the same as everyone else's? Can someone with Alzeimers think themselves better? Sorry, I'll stop now. Just please don't assume your experience is the key for everyone else.
Listen carefully my dear friend. I am merely offering an alternative. I am no mental health dictator. It is very easy to externalize your problems, by attacking me. Attack is merely a call for help from a fearful mindset. If don't take responsility for yourself...a being of free will and immense creative power, then NO ONE in this universe will.By the way, if you missed my diagnosis and med regimen, I shall repeat it. I am Bipolar with anxiety and insomnia. I use Effexor XR, Lamictal and Remeron.
The meds provide me with a foundation, the energy and optimism to seek out other parts of the mental health puzzle.
We are all on this board to encourage and assist one another. People have overcome tumours and cancers by mere thought alone. If you cannot see the love or intention of my post, then I'm sure will discover this joy in another lifetime when you're ready.
Reserve your hate for the manufactured enemies of the state. They will appreciate your attitude far more.
