I've read most of this thread and I have one idea. We don't know Miss A's mother and we don't KNOW what really goes on in their home. I think that Miss A could be exaggerating or not. But I definitely believe that she needs to get off the computer and help around the house, continue her therapy and take her meds. Solving life problems, on the internet, doesn't seem to be working for her. It's time to cook or get out of the kitchen.......xoxoxo pat

This is probably true for most of us here. Taking action in a positive way is almost always better than sitting on a computer but sometimes having support is nice. People take action when they choose, not others.

I dont know if it matters if Miss A is exaggerating or not. Its not for us to decide. If we start trying to diagnose or see who is really mentally ill we will lose in the end as someone who really needs our support will surely be cast aside. Id rather see twelve attention seekers get support than one person who really needs help not get it.
