[QUOTE="lovemysons, post: 669594, member: 3305"] I sympathize too SuZir...as this is a condition that this person appears to have been born with. But I ask myself this question... What if there were a pill for that? I ask myself this question because of what I have to adhere to...You see I have Bipolar disorder. Only dxd after going manic 8 yrs ago and having a psychotic breakdown. Now wasn't I born with this extreme, intense, mood-disorder? Certainly I have lost a part of myself...no longer nearly as expressive, creative or determined. Isn't it "just part of me that the world should have to accept?" NO! It is not. In fact, it was someone from the board many yrs ago that got me started on antidepressants as my behavior was viewed so clearly by others as being in an extreme amount of pain and depression. It was suggested to me that I was "being irresponsible" to not seek treatment. At that time I was very against the medication route. I did, however, see a Dr and began Lexapro treatment. This lead to a Manic episode that almost ended my marriage. Then came benzos and me wanting to sleep my son's hellish days away. I almost killed myself by overdosing...I digress. Finally I stopped everything and began going to AA and Al Anon but a few yrs later I was having panic attacks while oldest difficult child was in prison. I was in severe pain again but this time taking nothing. I had a psychotic breakdown...complete with hallucinations of every kind, very very real, and VERY horrifying. That breakdown ended on the side of the road with police guns drawn. I tried to grab an officer's gun to shoot myself. I wanted to die. I felt threatend. G-d and the Devil were fighting for my soul. husband was trying to take me to the edge of town to bury me. I "escaped" the vehicle at a stop light and onlookers called the police...anyway that was all part of the psychosis. And you know what they did? They locked me up! lol NO, I did not get to flaunt "my crazy" around town. Doesn't matter that I was born this way! There is a pill for that. And...(I can laugh now) thank G-d!!! I finally had the right diagnosis. My point is...and there is more...when is enough enough? Innocence is dead it seems anymore. Our children have to face all the ill's of society. We can't protect them from anything! I ask myself...what is next? What if it is someones "predisposition, leaning, tendency" to prefer animals over people. Anyway...Just rambling thoughts. Maybe it sounds sick even to think...but I am sure what is happening in today's world sounded "sick" 50 yrs ago. Maybe I am way off track. Maybe this is not even an apples to apples situation. Just my thoughts. LMS [/QUOTE]
