I never said that having a broken mind made someone a bad person. You are saying that. What I said was that if MY brain wasn't broken, I wouldn't need help fixing my mind.

Depression happens. Often it's result of series of tiny little events that weight us down.

You are right depression happens. Happens to people who have normal brains.

And often we feel sad for reason. Sadness is warning something is wrong with our lives... and we should explore it, rather then numb it with a pill and go on with our unsatisfactory life...

I disagree. Sadness is not a warning, it is a response to an event. Someone you love dies, you feel sad. How is that a warning? My meds have never numbed the way I feel. I still feel the feelings, but what they do do for me is take the intensity away from them so that I may function w/ the rest of society, and figure out why I feel that way.

Sometimes I can cycle from happy go lucky to wanting to die several times a day. Are you saying that I should explore those feelings? Hell, they nearly kill me.

Feelings are neither right nor wrong, they just are. It's how we deal with them that matters.

You are not broken. You are just troubled. The most intelligent, prolific and talented people out there were troubled. And would you call Churchill a broken brain?

I never said I was broken. My brain, the physical part that sits on my shoulders, doesn't function correctly, but me, my mind, is not. However, it is dependent on the brain, the physical.

Again, remember, the brain is the physical thing, but the mind is what makes me me.
Thanks for this!
