GRAMMAR/PUNCTUATION MISTAKES IN ICONS MAKE THE BABY JESUS CRY.

glitterglass September 17 2007, 19:28:55 UTC

oh, maybe I should comment on the post.

using people who are schizophrenic as the norm to talk about medicating disorders is like using [some extreme version of something] to talk about [a very open topic].

kyalesyin September 17 2007, 19:29:29 UTC

Like using serial baby rapists as an example when talking about sex offenders generally?

glitterglass September 17 2007, 19:32:39 UTC

or using a gay man who intentionally gives AIDS to people as an example of homosexuals. or using a dog that was trained to fight as an example of a pit bull. you know the drill. ;D

My antidepressant was a lifesaver, and surprise, I no longer need it. It's not a life sentence.

tomecatti September 17 2007, 19:32:19 UTC

And even if you do need it for life, it isn't anymore of a life sentence than, y'know, being born.

glitterglass September 17 2007, 19:33:03 UTC

but life is a death sentence....ooooooh.

maryam September 17 2007, 19:34:31 UTC

yeah, I mean, is it a life sentence to need an inhaler for your asthma? idk, it's stupid.

I'm not even gonna go there. I didn't like being in psych. I didn't enjoy it. I didn't want to be there. It helped.

The fact is, if you have a dangerous condition, people have a right not to be subjected to it. If the solution is medication, wll the needs of the many win out over the rights of one.

And here I thought drugs for mental illnesses were meant to be stepping stones to recovery. Boy, shows what I know.

kyalesyin September 17 2007, 19:27:55 UTC

Yup. In conjunction with therapy and other treatments to gently bring things back into line.

illianaka September 17 2007, 23:42:38 UTC

Sorry, I meant for that to more clearly come across as sarcasm. I'm a first-hand example that it, plus therapy plus just plain supportive people around, is in fact a stepping stone.

79% of LJ users who live at home and work in food service still fail after 10 years.

NO FORCED FAILING

bellasmommy September 17 2007, 19:28:11 UTC

That needs to be an icon.

hugparty September 17 2007, 19:29:59 UTC

LOL I would but I'm at work...

tomecatti September 17 2007, 19:32:53 UTC

I would, but I can't make icons.
