I have had a doctor mention to my parents that if they hadn't been so supportive and helpful to me I'd almost undoubtedly be homeless and possibly dead. I have never achieved any sort of lasting remission or significant relief from this awful condition, and I think the STAR*D study is a long overdue wakeup call.
I was alone for most of the time while suffering from my disease but found a very, very understanding woman a few years back. I am indescribeably lucky to have her, as I don't think I could take care of myself indefinitely any longer.
I also had to file for Medicare and was unbelievably lucky to get approved for long term disability from my lost job.
All the things he mentioned are entirely possible, and I'm not sure why its not ok to discuss it.

Even if he is right, 5 topics in a row consists a flood!!
Last time he was banned, his excuse was that he was drunk. I wonder what's his excuse now..

> > block length = 1.97 rounded = 2 weeksI'm wondering about the duration of Lostboy's block. I know it's been a while, but he accumulated very large blocks, and also posted while blocked. Have those older incidents completely 'expired'?

Hi,
I am not trying to start a flame war but I am absolutely stunned that Lost Boy was banned for two weeks for exaggerating about the effects of antidepressant med trials. I am curious, if he had said that drugs are wonderful and as a result, you can go into professions earning a million dollars a year, would you have banned him two weeks for exhaggerating(sp)?

Hmm, it turns out they haven't, but I've already started over, so let's try to move forward from here.

Hmm, that's a good point, we need to be careful when the positives are exaggerated, too.
