it actually does take a health professional to properly and effectively make a sound opinion of a persons mental health condition and even they get it wrong at times! Secondly, you assume what is put on the board is a some sort of truth... hell.. the whole thing can be just one big lie.... guess that is why professionals actually like to met someone before they make educated opinions on a person's mental health and don't base it on some writings on a medium that is ripe to be used to misrepresent or mislead others if one so desired it. I suppose I like to have a great validation that what is said by her on the boards has any truth in her reality. So the words... well are just that... just words on a screen and have no meaning without validation beyond anything this medium can provide.... I guess I just like alittle more substance before I determine someone is emotional unstable.... I recognize that there are other possiblities.. possiblities that can't be confirm in an online environment. I wouldn't call cold hearted... but reckless in your judgement becuase you take what was shown on the boards as truth and the whole truth. All it does is raise a concern of drama... enough I might say that I wouldn't want anything to do with the person.. but then beyond that... it doesn't really say much about the person except they are creating drama... maybe because of illness, maybe with intent to cause it, maybe some other reason. KnightofMists, Seriously now, with all due respect, these ARE message boards....and every one of us here comes on and states our opinions based upon the typewritten words of another. Zaynab/Phoenix could be the sweetest most mentally grounded person in the world...but I gave my opinion based upon her own words and representations on this screen. That is all any one of us can do. Every time we write a response here, we are basing that response on what was written here. It is the only thing we have to go on as you are correct....we have no means of validation. If we just simply assume that every statement on here is a complete fabrication....why then would we even take the time to respond or for that matter even form an opinion. I am sorry if you disagree with my opinion, but it is MY opinion....one that I formed based upon the words written here, which is again....what I have to go on. I based that opinion upon my own qualifications and experiences working in the mental health field. I based that opinion on my own gut feelings and instincts. I do not expect you to agree with it or own it....for then it would no longer be MY opinion but YOURS. What I find funny is that whenever someone posts on these boards in regards to abuse, there is never a shortage of people who are out there naysaying that it's all hype and doesn't exist. I am not normally a member of that crowd as I've stated before I generally try to give the benefit of the doubt so as not to risk closing the door on someone who is really in need. I have been called a fool more than once for offering assistance to someone and sticking my neck out, because as we know....this place is ridden with drama queens....or so I have been told. I would always rather end up to be the fool than to have turned my back on someone for who I may have been able to help. Now this is the first time here that I have, right from the start...before I ever even knew who Phoenix was.....had a gut feeling that something here was all wrong. I have learned over the course of my life to listen to my instincts. Regardless of if this is an accurate accounting of what has occurred...and I have not in any way stated that I know what the facts here really are...it IS sad that this tale...this airing of dirty laundry....or attempt to ruin reputations...or whatever it is that we are dealing with here, has ended up here in front of all of us. Just the mere fact that all of this has been posted here says something to me of the person...their maturity level, their problem solving abilities....and yes, their emotional stability. That is an observation I make based on nothing more than my own opinion that mature, responsible, level headed, emotionally stable adults do not present in the manner that we have witnessed here. Of course as with all else, your own opinion may differ greatly and you may have gotten something completely different out of all of this than I. But that's ok. I promise I won't fault you for having your own.
