You've been fighting the good fight along with the rest of us. This is a small but great group of people, make yourself at home and make friends.

I'm new here, myself, and I've just recently been poking my head around since the topic has come up so much lately. Full disclosure: I'm a Gungeon native, and I haven't roamed the other boards much.

I'm glad you're hangin' in there, and I can definitely sympathize with your frustration. I've been struggling with my own head myself, and some of what I've read over there makes me want to pull my hair out. It seems like every time the subject comes up, the whole world wants to use one particular category of illness as a punching bag, and pretend it makes people not-quite-human. The generalizations and stigma have to go.

it is THEY who have the cognitive, emotional and behavior problems.

They've raised reactive paranoia to all new highs for DU.

... Her patients are often the most well-adjusted people within their family and social circles, and they seek treatment so they stay that way when dealing with the ones who aren't.

At that point the thing to have done would have been to harpoon him, drag him on board and sell him to the Japanese for sushimi
