There's a person who seems obsessed with opiate drugs in a way that sounds like a developing junkie to me.
Who Me?
Ma'am:After reading your criticism, my first inclination was to run for cover, but that won't do so will try to answer your post and remain civil.
Having said that, all further responses should:
1st) be considered as an attempt (however feeble ethat might be) at humor, failing that test,
2nd) as defense of my admittidly controversial thoughts.
> This is disturbing, mostly because when someone so misguided
Well this sounds like a presumption of stupidity, or a deliberate provocation
>
uses a legitimate illness like depression to try and justify her doping
It sounds like you are accusing me of being a liar.>
Psychiatric illness is heavily stigmatized and sufferers are heavily discriminated against as it is.
Well, we agree on something>
To have a bunch of druggies trying to legitimize their bad habits
What bad habits, I am just trying to get my life back, like everyone else here>
Trmping up some BS about painkillers and depression just pisses me off.
This sounds like you think that I am lying, just to 'get high'> I've danced with this devil for well over twenty years and seen alot of awful things.
I am not sure what devil you may be referring to here, i presume depression>
Too many of the hospitals are horrible places, outpatient services are pathetic to nonexistant for most of the mentally ill population and insurance coverage for psychiatric services keeps getting cut and cut where it still exists.
This of course is not My Fault.>
For all the people who take their meds and work their buts off to get better this pill popping crap is a giant slap in the face.
If it really works for some of us, why discriminate between pills, we ALL take pills?>
The general population already confuses the depressed and the retarded; should I have to bear the stigma of the dope fiend
Those ewho are still confusing the 2 may be a little 'special' themselves
>
so little susie
That would be little Dougie>
can rationalize her problem as depressive illness? I think not.
There has been no rationalization here, I have basically laid my Soul bare here for all to see. If what I have experienced does not fit in with the way you see the world, there is no reason to get worked up about it.Ultimately, it is my life to navigate the best way I see fit. I have only come here to share and get a second opinion.
