This blaming those of us mentally ill for your fucking gun problems is getting tiresome.

89. I'm sorry if my posts could be construed that way

I do feel that severe mental illness is something that needs to be treated, so people won't be pushed over the edge to commit such crimes. There's almost always some point at which someone can be rescued before it's too late.

But the vast majority of people who are mentally ill pose no threat to anybody. I just feel that mental illness, like any other ailment, needs treatment...yet so many people can't afford it. It breaks my heart when I read forums, and see people who are suicidal and asking what to do about it because they can't afford a doctor.

When I talk about mental illness, I do so from a place of compassion, not placing blame. I blame lack of treatment, not the patient. I'm sorry if I didn't express myself fully enough.
