[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 630965, member: 1550"] I have a severe mood disorder and need medication. If I don't take it, I'm suicidal and can't function. I take it as prescribed and never drink or use any drugs I don't need because I want to be well and live a long, happy life, especially now that I have grandkids! :) My family is filled with mental illness and personality disorders so I just got a nice big piece of the pie! But I work very hard to stay in a good place, which is why I get frustrated with people who have problems and won't do anything to fix them. I had no family support. I did everything I did on my own or with psychiatrists and therapists and self-help groups. Nobody held my hand. I honestly think it was better for me that I had to do it alone. I think it made me stronger. If my parents had been willing to feel sorry for me and hold my hand and not make me get up to work and do life (which is healthy for a depressed person), I would have probably let t hem coddle me because I didn't feel like doing anything. But I wouldn't have gotten to where I am now. It was better that they practically threw me out of the house although I really did not break their rules, even though they were doing it just because they're mean. In the end, it was a very good thing that they WERE mean...lol. I"m serious too. [/QUOTE]
