So...I thought I'd just make a list. Feel free to add to it. They are probably exagerated, but, you do get a lot of BS. Especially on the internet. Not so much in real life. People in real life seem more likely to talk sense. But then, you do get the occasional idiot.
- "Join the army" (Did I mention bipolar is on the list of "can't join?")
- "You don't need those meds! All you need to do is go to Church, because gods love will cure you!" (With due respect to anyone who is religious on here, every time I hear that I can't help but think "BS")
- "The problem is modern life. You need to throw away your telelvision, computer, phone, IPod, every source of modern life there is and live like a hermit in the desert somewhere. That should solve your social anxiety" (No, idiot. Avoiding people isn't solving it.)
- "It's a problem with your diet! Try cutting out everything that isn't poppy seeds out of your diet" (Yeah...okay. Whilst I get that diet can make an impact on MI, somehow, a lot of them seem extreme. Or the best one...which isn't exagerated...)
- "Why don't you try the Atkins diet?" (Which I thought was for weight loss. And not for solving anxiety.)
