Oh? Hmm, that's too bad. What flavor Kool-Aid you guys like?

What a coincidental association. Almost 50% of the people with my illness attempt suicide in the first year of discovering they have it, and 10% are successful.

Too bad it has nothing to do with cult behaviour, though, or it would be a lot easier to prevent these deaths.

You do not need to be mentally ill to join an insane cult. Or to be a jackass. Mental illness does not cause thoughtlessness.

Trevor, I'm curious, what is your illness?

Also, see the most recent thread I made. It's on how the American mental health system has treated me. I'm curious to see how it compares to your experience in Canada.

Katy: basically, bipolar disorder. Longer response in the other thread, though.

I think you might be right, here. I also think that you might have to be committed to being light-hearted?
