You didn't ask questions or admit that you weren't sure. You did what you always do--you stated bold opinions.

What followed is people who actually know about this stuff based on our experience took time to correct you. I didn't do it to help you learn. I know from experience that you don't care about learning. I did it to correct the record for people who were reading the thread.

In return, you did a half-ass mea culpa about one comment you made, but continued to dig in your heels. You twice insulted me with your posts about how I had somehow "fooled" my family and friends when that wasn't the point of my story, nor was it the truth.

As for the poverty/depression thing, I actually thought you had valid points. But you got all caught up in Jaz's comment which was so obviously a joke. Please, you are known for posting the internet research articles. A little ribbing about that should be expected and you should be adult enough to have a laugh.

You then went on to make an insulting dig about people who have been in therapy, and even though Carrie has spent about 2 hours trying to get you to talk about it, you've done nothing but avoid and deny.

No one posted their story to get sympathy. We did it because we know that depression is completely misunderstood and we wanted to do the best we could to educate a bit.

Now we learn that none of this is really about the issue, but about your problem with "cliques." It would be much better if you would just address your problems directly instead of going the route you did in this thread. Just be direct. I don't like you--I think you are heartless and clueless. I don't need to pick some opposing side on an important issue like depression in order to make that point. Why don't you just do the same. People would probably respect you more.

Oh MY GOD. I cant believe what I just read. You actually think you were "helping" people???? Whatever.

Liam, I like you too, but you are taking this too personal..I didnt attack you, and I dont know anything about you, but yet you are acting like I shot an arrow into your heart. Give me a break!

Ryan called me a "drunk" in several posts, all without any provocation. I didnt share any alcohol related stories (like other Ledgies in the past...in fact, alcohol consumption wasnt thot to be a problem until "now".....

Of course, I didnt realize he was so self righteous. Now I do. Pardon me.
