and not only that but what a big responsibility to take upon oneself, to tell someone something like that. You are taking their life in your hands talking stupid like that (you not meaning you).

on edit: Alcoholics Anonymous? I suppose that there are groups that are very good, but my husband had to go to meetings (he has been sober for 20 years) and there was a leader there they called Dr. Gloom and Doom. I met with him once and I reported him cuz he was so over-the-top. Everyone but him was an alcoholic or in denial.

I'm taking meds for depression and my daughter is struggling with some mental health problem. She is hard to diagnose. If someone told her to stop her meds, I would have a hard time not ripping their backends off. I have gotten calls from counselors and nurses saying she is in the hospital or threating suicide. Just last weekend we were on a wild race trying to find her after a friend called and said she was threating to hurt herself.

But the thing with meds for mental health is they need to be administered so precisely. The last thing anyone suffering needs is advice from an idiot. Unfortunately, it is the idiots who offer the most advice.
