    The Love Which Dare Not Speak Its Name

    There was a thread here a wee while ago about mental illness.

    I'd like to poll the good denizens of CUK as to their experience of it and whether or not they've taken meds / other care for it.

    The poll will be wholly anonymous and there's no need to specify your meds. When selecting from the poll, above, please select the most serious (in order from CBT (low) to inpatient care(high)) that you've encountered as a patient rather than as a carer or family member.

    In the interests of total disclosure, I take 300mg daily of venlafaxine that helpfully prevent me from doing ludicrous things. In the past, I've been an inpatient at a hospital in Scotland.

    What, like maths and IT contracting?

          From the title I thought this would be a thread about Drewster and Churchill.

                  How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.
