Why don’t you think it can help you?

Did you read the forward that explains exactly how it does help people in your mental health situation and that the use of the book itself has been analyzed in medical studies and been proven to be at least as effective at treating depression as pharmaceutical treatment options?

Why are you downplaying his struggles?

Where did I do that?

I asked him why he didn’t think it could help him and if he read the forward that explains how it can help people like him.

I’m not sure. I may be in a very Aspie literal mode right now, so I responded accordingly and asked what I think are the right questions.

I also find it strange how it's ok for my detractors to make posts about their love lies but when I do, they are ready to kill me.

Have you made a post about your love life? :?

I've only seen you complain about your lack of a love life.

That's far from making a post about your love life.

I think it's more that people would rather see you focus on anything positive about yourself and what you're doing to create opportunities for social interaction or the initiation of a love life than read only depressing complaints.

And you ignored my posts where I elaborated on some things you made assumptions about what I said.

My detractors do not want that. They've told me to give up and accept being a "loser". They also claim to be anti-Trump and hate his treatment of women but boast about how much "p****" they get and even bragged about it to me like schoolyard bullies. They are more like him than they realize. That is also why I don't consider the left my friend even though the right hasn't treated me much better.

I did because I recognize there are some people who don't actually want help, they just want people to feel sorry for them.

It's like beating my head against a brick wall - it accomplishes nothing and I get a headache from it.

But why did you post in this thread again? That doesn't make any sense at all. Do you also really think I am going to take advice from someone who tells me I don't know who I am?

I thought I had an appointment lined up but my health insurance was rejected. That's not imagining things, it's the result of a sh***y healthcare system.

Because my post did not directly address you, it addressed another poster (the goldfish guy).

Frankly I don't care if you take my or anyone's advice. Your decisions only affect you, they don't affect me.

Lack of love life is love life.

It still doesn't change the fact you looked in my thread despite claiming to be sick of my posts.

Than why did you post in the first place? You also looked rather upset about my posts.

Honesty is the best policy and you my friend have hit the nail on the head. I thank you for being upfront.
