It may be a negative viewpoint and I know LMo for example would probably strongly disagree. But for me it definitely spells out why NOT to disclose to friends ... and I should add that this guy is 28, smart, was the most supportive friend ever when I was going nuts over my thesis, and is really amazing in general - but that's still his view on this.

Makes me think of all the dumb social marketing mental health awareness campaigns. And how the cut-through (effectiveness) is probably zip zilch nada nothing.

I am not dissing or demeaning anyone's decisions. I'm just venting a little about how even people who seem to think drugs are a good option actually think it's a cop-out (a real test when they consider taking them themselves i guess).

don't mind me i'm just kinda blah and highly relieved i haven't said anything to him this time.
