Prophet 451

19. I deal with them all the time

I'm severely mentally ill (as you probably guessed) and I have had just about as much as I can handle of the "stop taking all drugs and think *nice* thoughts instead" crowd. Their bullshit gets people killed. In the absence of meds, my life expectancy drops to days. With them, I'm somewhat functional for some days, as long as I don't have to leave my home or interact with other people in any way.
