*rolls eyes at tayeana*

ppl shouldn't be so negative about therapy. it's not for everyone, but it's a choice more ppl should recognize as just that - an option. i'd criticize someone for shoving it down someone's throat, and do the *same* for someone criticizing for suggesting it. YOU shouldn't get mad at iona just bc you didn't like her suggesting therapy to you. if ppl on here don't want suggestions from ppl who don't know them, they don't (or shouldn't) post here (or anywhere online really), period. its STUPID to say that ONLY one group of ppl - here doctors - can suggest something that *may* be helpful to that person.

get over your stupid equating of therapy = "crazyhouse", or don't leak the idea to others.

>I have left this websites forum because it doesn't >help.
sometimes you get out what you put in (negativity). i'm unmarried and was pregnant, and am now a mother. i've been here since last summer and come back to offer help/feedback to others going thru that 'oh crap' phase. that moment of looking at the test saying 'oh crap" and trying to figure out what to do next, how to tell my family and friends -- been there. and the overwhelm and the crying about it. did that. did i go to therapy? no. would it have helped? maybe. would i bite someone's head off for suggesting it? of course not. if you want someone to talk to who is going thru the same specific situation, for venting purposes, then say so. if you want suggestions on what to do w/an eye to the long run, then say so. they are two different things.

and for the record, i have NEVER called someone's ideas on here stupid, but yours are completely infuriating to criticize someone for offering suggestions to someone else on the sole basis of 'you're not qualified to make that suggestion'. there are FAR TOO MANY women who need it to be suggested, for whom it will help, and for whom there's no one else to suggest it, to ignore your response or recognize it as anything but asinine.
