PLEASE NOTE: The Reality TV World Message Boards are filled with desperate
attention-seekers pretending to be one big happy PG/PG13-rated family. Don't
be fooled. Trying to get everyone to agree with you is like herding cats,
but intolerance for other viewpoints is NOT welcome and respect for other
posters IS required at all times. Jump in and play, and you'll soon find out
how easy it is to fit in, but save your drama for your mama. All members are
encouraged to read the
complete guidelines.
As entertainment critic Roger
Ebert once said, "If you disagree with something I write, tell me so, argue
with me, correct me--but don't tell me to shut up. That's not the American way."
He asked Smash to tell him if Waverly was acting differently.
And one of the things that happens so often with m/d is that you feel ok and don't think you need to take your meds. Then you'll usually go into manic stage and think you are invincible and don't need any meds and/or depressive stage and not be able to do anything but lie there/sit there etc.
More research needs to be done into this and better meds need to be produced (although they have made some great strides). After my mother passed away, we were contacted by Un of Pgh and donated some of my mother's brain for research for better meds. Mental illness needs to get put out there just like any other disease like heart disease, etc. There should be no stigma. But I do concede that they are scary and troubling and do have a profound impact on persons, families and loved ones. I'm glad that they are doing this story. I think I was just so hung up on the drug thing with Smash...steroids I thought she was on illegal drugs and in a clinic, not hospitalized for her manic depression.
