And blocking Lou doesn't achieve that.Perhaps you can address each and every individual who is addressed or referred to by Lou Pilder that they are fighting the good fight? Psycho-Babble might then pick up a few new customers as the old ones are lost to "attrition".
Hi all,
I feel that I should respond here. When I said "fight the good fight" it was meant to be an all encompassing phrase as it pertains to Taylor, as well as subjecting myself to the accusatory demeanor some may have concerning decisions I may make for her. I wasn't sure that I could handle that, as I stand before you already on shaky ground in dealing with my own depression and anxiety disorder. My feelings weren't hurt; I had a panic attack, and the shock factor, to me, was extreme. If any of you are fighting for your child's life and well being, you may understand that I'm going through hell, and feel like an exposed nerve. The stress is taking its toll on my health.
With that said, the initial "shock" is over and done with. I have come to understand that medicating children is controversial, and need to ignore any shots fired at me directly or indirectly, as a parent never gives up. However, I would rather receive that information in a helpful, constructive manner, as now I will not read from a certain poster. I will ignore such indignations, as previously stated by Scott, because of the people here who support me and have been so helpful.
I was looking around the board, and it struck me as strange how few members are actively posting. I then realized, as previously stated, why that may be. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, and they should be shared here, but when you're new here and blindsided with an accusitory / inflammatory post, you will probably end up looking for another venue.
I can't help but suggest that even before Lou has a chance to "attack" a new member, they be forewarned? I suppose that won't happen, but it probably would have staved off my panic attack. I am all for reading posts from people who are against psychiatry/medication when put forth in a well intentioned and useful manner, backed by their own experiences. We can then focus on the issues we're here to learn about/help with, and not spend so much time with all the drama. (I apologetically include myself)
