I will not insult the originator of this discussion, since I think I should respect his or her viewpoints.
However, I would caution others as to the legitimacy of one's authority on the subject of psychotherapy when one uses the phrase "keep on truckin'." If my doctor said "keep on truckin'," I would "keep on moving" to switch to another doctor.
Moreover, I believe the phrase "keep on truckin'" was said as way to suggest truck drivers feeling fatigue to ignore their rest and instead make their deadlines. That's all good and fine, but I wouldn't want to be the victim of an 18 wheeler, nor would I wish to be the one who told a truck driver to ignore his fatigue and tough it out.
Would the originator of this post feel regret if someone actually took his or her advice and did not treat his or her suicidal idealation effectively? Which is better, taking tested psychotropics or a switch blade? Obviously, psychiatrists save lives- and this reader should respect the profession more IMHO.
