Hi,
This thread has been locked for a number of reasons all of which would have been a valid reason on their own but combined means this thread cannot continue the way it has been.
This thread has 43 pages of replies, not all of them supportive but there is a lot of good advice that has been given. As this thread has not moved on due to the OP continuing to go over old ground it seems pointless to keep this thread going. OP there is a lot of good advice for you in this thread and I would suggest now that you cannot retaliate to other posts in this thread that you have another look at the suggestions given.
There is also the issue of being 'anti psych' on RYL we encourage people to join whether they are at a point where they are ready to recover, are recovering or who aren't quite there yet. However being so vocal about how bad MH professionals are is a detrimental and dangerous thing to do on a website where there are vulnerable people,some of whom at 11-12 years old who may take on this mindset with no real evidence of their own and in later years refusal of MH services may result in suicide and so on. Your opinions may be your own but on a website like RYL it is very important to be aware of what may push members of the community over the edge.
On a side note, the moderators have been lenient with this thread, allowing it to stay open despite borderline rule breaking by asking members how to lie to MH professionals. If you decide to create another thread OP rest assured that the moderators will be taking action more swiftly if this occurs again.
The other reason this thread has been closed is because it is no longer to the benefit of either the OP or the other members posting, those who have taken the time to continue to reply despite being faced with,quite frankly, rude and ungrateful posts back. I am sure it is obvious to everyone posting that this thread was becoming slightly farcical.
There is a lot to be taken away from this thread for all the posters involved. For those becoming frustrated to lack of response to well thought out posts and having questions ignored. In future it may be best to walk away and come to peace with the fact that some people may not want to hear what you have to say. It is understandably difficult to walk away when someone is being rude to you, however in staying and arguing you are feeding the need for attention which is more negative than positive. For the OP I think the best thing to take away from this thread is the posts offering you advice and to step back and take a minute before posting a scathing reply to someone that is trying to help you. It is a credit to the members of this site that posters continued to try and help you despite receiving rude responses.
I hope we do not have to close down another thread like this, posted by any member. However if the same type of thread occurs again the moderators will be taking much swifter action.
If anyone has any issues or anything they would like to say on the matter then please feel free to contact me or to email
moderators@recoveryourlife.com However if you decide to PM me and you are angry about the action taken I would suggest you step away and calm down before PMing me or emailing the moderators. Abusive/flaming PMs and emails will not be tolerated.
