If you want help, you would go to the doctors or look on a forum related to that specific topic which is what I've done in the past rather than posting it on a habbo forum where the best response I'll get is "Go to the doctors". My post isn't stopping anyone else helping her (which is ridiculous in itself since a diagnoses coming from anyone whose under qualified is particularly dangerous).Quote:

Also you said word for word "she hasn't got anything wrong with her", which is inherently untrue and frankly a horrible stance to take just because you clearly do not understand mental health concerns
Yes, my post does suggest that, as I do think her problems are false, which I've said numerous times. I haven't prevented anyone from responding to her, I have no power to do so, i'm simply tossing statistics out there to show others why I think what I do. I didn't see you offering her any help during the 5 stone drama so it's slightly contradictory and hypocritical to say "If any of these things are true then she does need some of the information in this thread, and if it is all made up for attention then that's another kind of mental health issue which also needs looking into". I'm not sure what you're basing my apparent lack of knowledge on but nobody here is qualified to give her advice other than 'go to the doctors''.Quote:

As for your lack of knowledge, that's clear from your absolute dismissal of the situation and and potentially damaging rhetoric, and qualifications have nothing to do with any of the advice given in this thread - it's all been given from experience and secondhand knowledge, which do not require degrees
I don't know why you'd ever be so hell bent on making Cerys look as bad as possible if you did know how these issues can affect people

I do know how these issues affect people as I've witnessed it first-hand.Quote:

No good comes of shaming people into not wanting to ask for help
Everything described in her first post can be found on a quick Google search of schizophrenia symptoms. Maybe this is all legit, maybe everything she has said in the past has been legit, but I don't buy it. I'm not going to derail this thread any more than I already have done but it's not unheard of for people to give accurate depictions of an illness when they in fact do not suffer from it. If everything she has said is true, then there is no shame is asking for help as she knows she's not lying and everything I'm saying is incorrect.Quote:

Even if it's nothing, they will be glad that you're safe rather than sorry.
see your doc. hallucinations could mean schizophrenia or severe depression
Can i remind you to stay on topic, otherwise this thread will need to be closed.
