@notaround- Thank you I think that I hit a sore spot and for that I am sorry. I really only meant to ensure that everyone protect themselves against further harm. And education or not, there are some people who are not familiar with drugs and how they work. I will try and rephrase my approach this in a different way in the future,
Connect is a place for support, yes, but also a place to help guide you in the healthiest way possible.

@notaround Honestly, I doubt there is a person alive who does not have some regrets about something in their past. That's life. We have to move forward from there. Try to not be stressed over what you can't change. I am sure there are options available without advanced degrees where you could be helping people. Could you possibly start a support group for people going through a similar situation to what you are going through?
I know it's very frustrating for people who want to be able to "make a difference" to not be able to for one reason or another.

Hey there,
The person you need to love most is yourself. Look in the mirror every morning and say “I love you.” No your not perfect. Even if you had a phd you wouldn’t be perfect, you’ll never be (Don’t expect the impossible) nor will any other human being, (not even me, shocking huh, I’m amazed too, lol !!!) Laughter has been proven to be very beneficial for depression. So laugh away.
Even if I had a PhD I still couldn’t do my dream job of being a pilot because of my seizures.
You have helped plenty of Connect members and that is quite an accomplishment in itself. You should be very proud of helping others. That’s a very major part of life, if not the whole point of life itself. congratulations kid!!! If you never do anything more than what you have done here on connect your a success and don’t you ever think otherwise.
