[QUOTE="Thunderfoot, post: 5513384, member: 34175"] I've said it before, I'll say it again; in modern society it's those of us that have had to deal with REAL crap that are getting fed up. Along with a society that has had us hide mental illness or else get branded "psycho, brain drain, retard" or a host other derogatory names. Mental illness can range from depression to full blown dementia - folks, get help. Don't think you can just ignore it and it will go away, it's not the common cold, it's more like cancer. It can be treated, but rarely if ever is "gone". I'm currently two years in remission of depression thanks to medication - it started when then world fell apart at GenCon 2008 (what a time for a break down huh?). Instead of letting myself get to the point of no return, I got on a plane and retreated to my family's farm (my mother is a psychiatric nurse) and got settled, then when I went back to the east coast, got professional medical help. It was better to get help than abandon those who cared about me, and really, that's what you are doing, jumping off the train and to hell with the rest of those on board. Think a second how those action affect someone else. Sends a sign of it's okay to do it to your kids, inadequacy as a mate to a spouse/significant other, helplessness/hopelessness to friends and acquaintances and a nagging feeling like they missed a signal somewhere or worse ignored a signal. I've been good ever since, but there was a time... and I have to keep reminding myself of that daily. [/QUOTE]
