Well, help me understand what you mean then. I'm not sure how "stabilizers and therapists are a band-aid that is mostly about getting you hooked and dependent and compliant" can be construed as something specific to your situation. You claim to speak specifically about your experience first, but then state that you think what apparently worked for you is "better for most people". You really can't have it both ways. Also, no one is tone policing (nor commenting on your tone at all), but suggesting there might be repercussions from a specific way of framing the issue for people; This criticism can hardly be called silencing. I'm glad what you've described previously have worked for you, but you are plainly incorrect in claiming that it is the best approach for most of those affected by mental disorders - which is what people are taking offense with in this thread.
