yeah I had a couple too quite recently -
1- You can go to work. You are smiling now.But keep taking your medications.!

"Maybe we need to up your meds." - Umm, if they worked, I'd be 'cured' by now wouldn't I!?

"Yeah, a guy at work tried to kill himself - he's been off on Bug Leave since then, he's gone screwey in the head." As I'm appealing to my family member for help with suicidal ideation.

This coming from my doctor. Yes...my doctor:rolleyes:

"maybe the way forward is to forget about it?"

Really?! Thank you so much for that incredibly helpful advice.

Mandy Tad and Medic72: I can't possibly "like" what those people said to you, so I'll :banghead: instead.

I really want another button in addition to "Like"

Just got a couple more in the past few days from someone very close to me who knows and can see how much I am affected. I try to smile and not speak about the incidents and how I feel anymore. But after hearing these words I found It better to keep quiet than to say what you feel at time -

You are a loser!
You are mental!
You are a very sick person.

I think you need to stay away from this person (((Mandy)))

 

[Mandy Tad]

Cannot, this person is close to me
