It is one thing for a dear and trusted friend to not understand my posission and question my motives ( Read more... )

So, what I'm getting out of this is... you should live in a bubble, protect yourself from everything 'unhealthy' in the environment, and mental conditions and issues have absolutely no existence without a trigger. Totally untrue. That may be enough for you, it may even work for you. It's also a different siutation, and I'm sure quite convenient for you to believe that you didn't hurt him -- just serves as another reinforcement for you to believe you're right on this. Not everyone can live the way you want them to, or live up to the restrictions you're willing to place upon yourself. You think I haven't told him he's stronger than he gives himself credit for? You think I don't have faith in him? You don't see the shit that happens, with absolutely no consistent factors linking up. You don't watch him get upset and miserable without a single thing changing in his enivronment. You might not believe in any of the psychological facts behind it, but again I'm telling you, you don't have to. Just keep your emotional outbursts out ( ... )

What does anything I've said have to do with my working in a pharmacy? Other than the fact that I've read the literature, understand what has been proven in laboratory studies and what hasn't, and am actually educated about the choice he's made for himself. I'm not seeing anything that you can find 'rich ( ... )

I read English well enough to realize you're being entirely self-righteous and unwilling to recognize any viewpoint other than your own as being even potentially correct. I'm sure you've dealt with everything in your life just perfectly, never done a thing that someone's disagreed with. I would have never expected this from you... and frankly, I'm relatively disgusted that you'd do this to a so-called friend. You don't even recognize when you hurt someone, you just choose to go on rambling about them using it as an excuse and so forth. Obviously someone so perfect as you could never have caused another person, a supposed friend, emotional pain.

And for that matter, where is it your place to make judgments as to what he's done to deal with his problems?

Going off the information I have... which is just that plans were made and broken and you haven't been around. Wish I could elaborate.

Okay fine. Low blow.

But you verbally assaulting me over my job, and it's relevance or lack thereof to this argument was a low blow too.

Congratulations, it's still a low blow.

Just because doctors write prescriptions and I fill them doesn't mean I agree with all of them. Or that I'd take them myself, with or against medical advice. The first person who'd ever tell me to put my child on A.D.D. medication would be speaking their last conscious words.

Every situation is different. And again, I'm aware of the science behind it, I've studied anatomy and psychology long enough to have a significant base of knowledge on the subject of depression. Yes, I deal with my own depressive bouts without medication. That doesn't mean it's not right for someone else.

Not every situation is the same. You're refusing to admit that. Just because you could, doesn't mean everyone can.

That's one point we're never going to see eye to eye on. Hell, chances are this entire rant we're never going to see eye to eye on.
