Not everything is all about meds, and meds are not the Antichrist. I know some people's illnesses are med-resistant, but I definitely believe that some of those people could/will be helped in the future by new medications. Some may also be helped by other types of intervention, like therapy, ECT, or something else. I think many people abandon medication treatment pre-maturely or for reasons that many others wouldn't abandon them for. We're all different. I will say that when my brother-in-law convinced my sister that their youngest son's suicide was "inevitable" I had/have a major beef with that.

Sure I've deleted threads, deleted posts, edited posts, etc. A lot! When I am experiencing a mood episode, it happens most frequently. Disinhibition, impulsivity, desperation, excess irritability, all cause me to write and say things I regret. Sometimes I have a moment of insight and commonsense to realize inappropriate or overly personal communications.
