Dear Devastated Mother,
“Try to think about what you are saying before opening your mouth!” – Devastated Mother
I try my best to always think very carefully not only as to what I post on various forums but what it is that I say face to face. What I cannot account for is one’s ability to read or not read and understand what is written.
The analogy of the cup of coffee was in response to a previous posters analogy of a plumber and toilet problem when compared to medical challenges and decision making. It also relates to the lack of responsibility taken upon the part of that particular individual who spilled the coffee and others that think alike.
I agree with you that plumbers, toilets, cups of coffee have no serious relationship to medical challenges and decision making although some folks apparently handle them with the same urgency and/or importance from my readings and they are not in the same rehelm. I agree with you and may I suggest you re-read “Linkadge’s” posting to understand my response to him/her.
“We are talking about apples and oranges here!” I am trying to convey the importance of education, self-advocacy and responsibility in the hope of saving lives through knowledge, understanding and informed decision making. Those are the friuts I leave here for those having interest.
I wish you all well and for those challenged by these various serious mood disorders I can only encourage hope and the most important word in my life, “persistence,” to achieve the wellness one seeks.
Warmly,
Herb
