You should feel free, where you're comfortable, to talk about your own struggles with mental health.
You should never be talking about someone else's. That's "taboo" for good reason. Threads where that happen invariably turn into insidious attacks not just on everyone purported to have whatever condition we're discussing, but, really, on everyone with mental health concerns of any sort.
I have no doubt you'll be able to generate 5 more paragraphs about how I've somehow missed some important aspect of what you're trying to say. Please, don't. I think Dan was right when he suggested you take a breath before continuing on this thread. Your posts are being flagged off the site for good reason.
Sorry, I assumed that a thread being detached for being off-topic meant that the off-topic discussion could continue. I'll stop if that's not the case and will take note accordingly. I'd appreciate a lift of the posting time limit too. I'll just play safe and avoid any sort of contentious posting going forward. Argument isn't the main reason I come to HN, after all.
