25 GOOD REASONS WHY PSYCHIATRY MUST BE ABOLISHED

I was upset by the posts because of a part of my personality. I have certain buttons (like everyone) that people, certain people, push and I get me upset. My mind goes blank and I hate that feeling. I imagine that many people get that way when
taking a test in certain subjects. My mind goes blank
just taking to people.
I
have some idas and values that I am sensitive about.

This can and has been good at times, but there are a small % of people who go around pushing people's buttons to see them get upset. I believe that our person who started this discussion is one of them. They do not want to have an intelligent debate, they just want to upset others.

I was blind to this part of myself until several people on this forum pointed this out to me. I thought I knew myself very well, but I did grow from the experience. I realized that the advice that I was given was great so I went into action. I copied their advice and read it over a number of times. I wanted to make sure that the information sunk in. The people on the forums can really help us because they have been down the same road.

I love to debate things. I love to research things. However, I have to be aware that a few people are just out there to upset others. I've written over 100 pages of material to explain some of my insights and methods of living without drugs. I have them on my website. I will put more stuff on as I see a need for it. I do not want others to suffer from depression and anxiety as I have.

I know that most people would not relate to the way I feel and what my sensitive buttons are, but I need to know my weak points and work on them or work on ways to deal with them.

i have "buttons" too, jim. it's just -really- hard for people to push them. what most find offensive -- i find amusing. i guess that's one of the many reasons people call me strange.

fomori4hire, For me personally I was quite bothered by his posts. I found them all to be very negative, therefore it wasn't good for other people to be constantly reading stuff like that. I think that alot of what he was posting from was false, as i've never heard some of the stuff that he was posting about before. That's my opinon. I thought it was interesting at first, but it just got out of hand.

I didn't manage to read most of his posts, so I'm not sure which ones bothered you, but I could easily imagine his posts getting bothersome. A lot of his anti-psych stuff was just as dogmatic and IMO unfounded as he claimed psychiatry is, which is what dropped my interest level significantly.

Exactly, I said what I needed to about this topic, and my opinons on it.

I am actually surprised this thread is still going.

comic relief?

As far as name-calling goes, you're a pack of closed minded, psych system pawns promoting a corrupt industry.

What's so corrupt about the psychiatric industry? Patient goes to the doctor. Doctor prescribes a treatment plan. Patient goes home. Repeats cycle often and as necessary.

I take my meds due to the fact that I've not done well without them. I presume that is why most others on this site take their medications. That and they need them.

Thommie,
This post was originally started by someone who is deeply against getting psychiatric help..for his own reasons.

Of course it makes perfect sense to take your meds and get help...which is what this site if all about!

Take care,

Thanks for the reply, Sweetngentle.

I am a high functioniung mentally ill person and I have a pretty good life.

High functioning doesn't take away my symptoms, but I do better than many.

Of course, that doesn't make me better than anyone suffering from a mental illness. I am on an equal plain.

Any how, I just wanted to make that be known.

We began medication therapy with me at an early stage and that has helped my progress profoundly.
