If someone doesn't have that, then they probably shouldn't respond at all. But then of course there's the issue of a person not getting any responses, and does that mean no one cares? or that no one has a welcoming response? probably not... but it's always a concern.

I was in therapy long before really trying meds. And I was hesitant about therapy, and even more hesitant about meds. Now I don't really care. I just want SOMETHING THAT WILL WORK!!!!!
>that i can understand ... ... we have friends here who will help us figure it out.

(???? ??)
i'm lucky that that's all i've spent on mental health issues in my whole 52 1/2 years!
