Subject: RE: BS: Depression and Anxiety
Sorry Bobert, but I disagree with you.

You are the one who is off-base to suggest that I do not understand what this "community" is made up of. Don't be condescending, I don't appreciate or deserve that. I completely respect you and all the folks here, and your intentions are good. Everyone wishes to help this person, including me.   The problem is that the advice being given here, is being based on a few sentences and a complete lack of knowledge of this person's situation.   People read into these posts and assume they can relate to the specifics. Well, you can't.   

I am not trying to be confrontational, and again I do see all the good that this so-called "community" is trying to offer. However, it is foolish advice to direct this person to anyone else besides a professional. This could very well be an illness that needs medical treatment, not some sort of folky advice from strangers.
