purposes?

What is the point of this website? To talk about how you feel, just so everyone can tell you what's wrong with you? Just tell you to go to a psychiatrist? I don't get why I try to figure out what's going on, when I couldn't do anything about it even if I knew.

If you should ever somehow, foolishly, be tempted to seek 'treatment' from a Psych pro, ask them right up front, "Doc, what's your cure rate?".

He'll artfully dodge that inquiry; 'might be fun to watch the turd squirm

That's because there is not cure Troll.

Yes, precisely, that's what they'll tell you. And many hapless souls will foolishly accept that as gospel fact without so much as ever questioning the authority/wisdom of the shrink's self-serving assertions. For in the final analysis, the shrink collects his humongous fees in perpetuity, at the direct detriment to your legacy as a human sojourner. And while the shrink's name enjoys ever increasing prestige in society-at-large, your name is turned to mud forever and ever and ever. And why?? ..just because you were unfortunate enough to be born into a tired old sagging and jaundiced race, burdened to no end by quick-buck artists who have their prey ready-made to-order, in tremendous number, locked in for the long haul, to milk dry.

Oh well, there's always NEXT lifetime, right??

This place is a support forum, meaning people with mental illnesses can come and share their expiereces with other's who have been through what they have to gain support. It's not always about seeking help and being put on medication etc, that's not the goal of this site at all, though if someone is really struggling then yes we may say it may be best to talk to a professional because it's obvious they are struggling.


Why did you join up if you weren't looking for support hun ?

didn't know it was a support forum. not to mention this half of me didn't. my other half did. the half that gives a ###$. i don't know why i joined...maybe just to amuse myself. in fact, i don't even know if there is something wrong with me. no maybe it's because society tells you what's wrong and right and no one has a mind for themselves.

Some of that is true, but not all society is like that, I hate to hear people using a site like this for amusment as it's here to help people, and there are a lot of people that do come here for amusement and end up upsetting a lot of other people.


But yes it is for support, no one on here is a professional at all either... just people who have been through something that like to talk to others that have been through something similar that's all.

A lot of sites like this, I even have one myself.
