I honestly think some people (not necessarily you) feel threatened by Elizabeth's not inconsiderable psychopharmacological knowledge (I mean have you read some of her 'non-opioid' resonses?) & her good command of the language. When people realise they can't 'win' the debate, the insults start flying. If you think informative, considered (if a little 'hard-edged') debate amounts to condescension, well what can I say?

> > Anyway.... back to the grind of living normally and this board has done me good.... knowing that to get help, you really must help yourself.... or this is the end result.

In yr experience. One man's poison is another man's pleasure (or something like that). I used to make a BIG!!! effort & I became maybe 10% less depressed. But if I score 10/10 on the 'depression-o-meter', I wld still score 9/10 which is still V Severe Depression. And all that (monumental) effort! For so little benefit! For me the output was not worth the input. You will see this is so for many others. You seem lucky to maybe have the sort of depression that remits of its own accord. Many here aren't so lucky.

> >your life. Back to work now... and living. Good luck to all of you.

Sorry you've had it so hard & good to see you're doing better. Good luck to you also.
