Health: actually the part about psychiatrists making at best educated guesses is accurate…

soliek i think what we can conclude from this very passionate discussion is that there is reason and justification for popping pills if necessary however one should not go looking for it because it does have potentially dangerous side effects.

there is some veracity to the claim that psychiatrists are script-happy, however they are not the only ones at fault…people DO doctor shop and ultimately the only data upon which a psychiatrist can rely when deciding whether or not to prescribe medication to a patient is what that patient decides to tell him.

is anyone here working with real data, or is this all a straw man…

i think that was meant facetiously…k’lomar: you would be better off with slim fast which, as unhealthy as it is, is still quite a bit healthier than surgery.

personally i wrote him off when he started performing for goyim. to me that was utterly unacceptable. i used to like his stuff…but i stopped listening when he released “live at stubbs.” so i really dont care what hes doing with himself now beause as far as im concerned he was rotten a year after he started this mishegass

“There are probably a few reasons for this widespead mental illness – mainly because we have to keep up with the Joneses, more than other groups!”

and yet every time i try posting something to that effect…it gets shot down…

i cant speak for every other chassidishe woman, but i CAN speak for my family and i know that when life became a bit difficult for my grandmother to handle…she doctor shopped for zoloft and wound up in the hospital with a rare side effect…

sure why not…didnt eliezer give rivkah nose rings when they met? or is my memory a bit fuzzy…

just a side point…how on earth are people supposed to know that someone is working on tznius if all they see is something thats out of line? i mean this whole thing seems to me kind of like a guy walking into a beis medrash, swearing at his chavrusa, and then wondering why people berate him even though hes working oh so hard on his lashon nekiya…(not that the two cases are exactly comparable…but you should get my point)

sure why not

obtw…how WOULD you PROVE maamad har sinai other than accepting a mesorah that it happened?

im sure…my only objection is with this thread and the complete surprise at those women’s reactions…why the surprise at their reaction?

ok so youure modeh it was out of line…so back to my point. you knew it was out of line for that situation…so why are you so indignant at having someone call you on it? its true that the way they did it may have been wrong, but you should have expected it.

ok im gonna be really unpopular here and buck the trend…im not gonna give you encouragement, im not gonna commiserate, im not gonna be righteously indignant…im gonna ask you three simple questions.

1) were you aware that your style of dress would be out of line

2) if yes, did that knowledge make you constantly self conscious and give you the feeling that everyone was pointing and staring

3) if you answered yes to either of the above two questions…what on earth did you expect

whether or not the person who said something is right is absolutely irrelevant beause the problem is not them…the problem is you, and placing blame on them, again whether they are right or wrong, is your way of justifying what may or may not have been wrong on your part. so yes, they may have been wrong, but how is it relevant? you may be working on yourself and your tznius and that is indeed very commendable in an age when the world is trying to expose more if itself than cover up, but if you want to be in certain circles with all the requisite social norms and practices, then be prepared for the consequences of deviating. dont get angry or upset when people call you on it.

“Thanks, BTGuy and Soliek. I’ll keep it in mind. Are there druggies or crooks there who can drag him further down?”

you’ll have to decide if its worth the gamble. there are guys there who live rough and its unfortunate…it really depends on the guy you’re talking about. are his issues hashkafic? if so they ohr yitzchok is probably a better bet. if his issues are worse than that, if hes on the street already then our place might be something to consider maybe in conjunction with ohr yitzchok

naftoli?
