When I start judging what others say in their posts, I try to change the focus in my mind to what I may do to make my life more meaningful. It was a shock to be told I have a treatment resistant illness. My personality is not conducive to therapy, apparently. I also was told medications likely will not be of great benefit to me, but I should continue to take them if I perceive a benefit (placebo effect).

Even so, I understand and accept I am responsible for my well-being. Too, I know I have failings I may not be able to change. I have embraced the philosophy of the Serenity Prayer. My work for me is to change or accept. My goal here is to support others while on their journey to a better place, even if the support is in the form of saying nothing rather than being critical. I do not always succeed.
