[QUOTE="dstc_99, post: 629614, member: 15473"] I find it very easy to forget that my mentally ill people didn't choose their illness. They make so many poor choices that it often feels like they are choosing to stay ill. All we can do is hope that some day they will want more and be capable of reaching for it. Honestly I think we could forgive them for all the pain this disease has brought if they would TRY to help themselves. On the other hand why should they need to be forgiven for actions their disease often dictates. They shouldnt have to. Then again there are times their actions feel very deliberate so it makes it hard to blame it all on the disease and not make them somewhat responsible for their choices. [/QUOTE]
