You had asked what if I don't want to get better? Quite simple..........then don't.

What kind of world would this be anyhow, if everyone were well? Pure Fantasy!

Those who don't want to get better, cannot be forced too.

Imagine what a frustrating, futile, expenditure of precious time and energy that would be on others, and those who do want to get well. And, what about all the give-and take, and effort and time expended on someone who does not even want to get well.

That would make for less available family time, time with friends and support to those who do want to get well and are willing to work.... work.... work.... work.... continue.... continue.... continue.... continue and persist in their personal Life and Death healing mission. Those who do want to get better ought to be supported while those who clearly do not want to get better ought to be told, quite simply then don't.

Never heard of the troll expression before - I know 'real life' trolls too!

I agree - some don't want to get better, and those will just go on being happily miserable. I was going to ponder over what this person might have meant through their wave of anger, but then I realised there is no way I would sign up to a PTSD forum where I was asking for help and support as "love2hate". When I signed up I actually agonised over what to call myself, because I wanted it to be real to me. I couldn't think of anything, so I just came as me and my real name (imagination ****wit!). Naming yourself "love2hate" is never going to give a good impression. There is something boasting in that which I think says enough about a person's interest not being in getting better - but only in pushing fight after fight to fuel their own hate/anger/sense of power/control.

Help the people who need, want and deserve the help. Those who don't won't benefit anyway. Glad the troll was banned, I don't like that kind of negative presence.
