WEll I was referring to those of us here who post on this forum, when I said we deserve to live...some of us deserve punishment for our wrong doings, asking for forgiveness when we have hurt another. WE have prison systems in place for those who need them.
Medications can help you deal with cumpulsions...I deal with that as well. I am in a manic state so that helps to explain my compulsions to do certain things I might not other wise do. Meds are an important factor here. I agree.
WE make decisions all of the time, some of them are tough ones....some of them are easy.
It is easy to get into the mind set of being a victim when we see that we have other options then we can regain some power/control over our thoughts and actions....choosing not to be a victim of circumstances.
