I know exactly how you feel Meyore... I got so upset reading that thread, I couldn't bring myself to reply:o I just can't understand why people feel the need to stand in judgement of people and problems they know nothing about. I just found it all so hurtful. It just goes to show, inspite of what we get told, the stigma against mental illness is still alive and well. No one would ever talk about someone with a physical illness being attention seeking... it just breaks my heart, tbh.

But maybe i'm just feeling a bit sensitive today?

Much love,

Heya darling.

That thread disturbed me. Some of the things that were said were very hurtful. I was in tears. I take things to heart very easily.
People should really think about the effect their words might have on others.

I hate being judged and hate those around me being judged. Mental illness is not attention seeking or "a sure way to get benefits" (as I have heard it described before). It is real and just as debilitating as any physical illness. I wish other people would see that.

****hugs**** hun.

Did QWB delete his post? I feel pretty mad about this-I don't think I'm depressed as such, just have a tendency to feeling anxious and down. But for the people around me who are depressed and I see suffering from day to day, I am fuming. I've tried not to get involved with all the arguements and "discussion" of mental health issues, but its just wrong. Racism isn't allowed on here, so why do people have the prejudices against DISABILITY and yet nothing is done? I am so mad, words escape me, really they do.

You aren't being sensitive saz, you are within your rights to feel that way. These people disgust me.

What could be more attention seeking than to post stuff like those !!!!!! AB and co post?

Trying to top yourself is going a bit past attention seeking anyway. If someone wants attention so badly they're willing to harm themselves, then give them the bloody attention. That person's clearly not well !!!!!!.

I'm really beginning to doubt whether he's a hypnotherapist or not. Surely no healthcare professional would be so completely insensitive?

You'd think he'd tread a bit more carefully, given how misunderstood his own occupation is. Surely he suffers prejudice when discussing what he does for a living?

I have no real opinion on hypnotherapy because I don't know enough about it. I know it helps people, and that's all I need to know. Whether it helps people because there's substance to it, or whether it's the positive thinking placebo effect, does it really matter?

It just seems like he's trying to !!!! people off. First it was coming in here and treating us like lab rats, then it was him saying antidepressants are !!!!!!!!, and now it's him saying we're all a bunch of attention seekers. If that's not textbook trolling I don't know what is.

What a grade A !!!!!.

Edit: And no, I don't think anyone's being too sensitive. To be told that the thing that affects your life so much is all in your imagination and that you just need to pull your socks up is unbelievable.

Don't cry though folks, the guy's scum and not worth upsetting yourself over. Again, he's just another pathetic little man with nothing better to do than mouth off and express his ludicrously flawed opinion on the internets, most probably with the sole intention of annoying people. Wonder if he speaks to people like that in real life? Of course not, they'd kick his face off. Actually clean off the front of his head. Well, I would.

Thanks for the hugs angel, I really appreciate it xx

I guess it's easy to make sweeping judgements about people from the safe distance of a computer keyboard. But to say "most depressives are x or y"... do they actually know most depressives I wonder? Anyway, I was determined not to give those hurtful remarks the oxygen of discussion, so I shall stop now I think.

I should go to bed otherwise I shall be dead at work tomorrow again.

Goodnight Morticia, goodnight my lovlies :wave:

Love you all,
Sazzy xxxx
