I still wonder though.... why is it okay to post "success story" about meds or therapy... and nobody jumps 6 feet up, even if these did not work for them. But when somebody posts about how existentialism or buddhism saved their life.... we get devalidated, we are told our view is not supportive, we don't know about science....
Isn't there enough stigma as it is? Why we need to reinforce stigma within the community? Because for me... I am not judging people for what way they take to get better. I do however have problem when I see people struggling, doing the same thing over and over again hoping this time around it will work.... and being encouraged in it.
This thread was meant to be as look outside of that damn box. I am saying what helped me. Herbs, zen, crystals.... and philosophy... that is my story.
