but I think if you're that unsure about going back on meds, then you shouldn't do it. See, that's my thoughts. Also, I hate that the Dr. that I would be seeing is my family Dr. I just don't trust them in this regard. Maybe if I was seeing a psychiatrist, and working closely with them to determine what was best I could do it, but mental health just gets so little attention, and the waiting lists can be really long. Most of the time I'm fine. I really just don't see the benefits at this time. Sure if I find myself becoming schizophrenic or something, but right now? Not that bad.
I don't think that means Tayla's being oppressed or anything. My thoughts exactly. That's basically the post I made. If you're writing an OTP fic, then all the other characters are secondary. Yeah it's great when you come a across a fic where the secondary characters are well thought out and do wonders for the story, but most of the time that's not the case. I mean, author's did the exact same thing in the QaF fandom, and they weren't being repressive there, because the characters were all white. Saying that authors are intentionally trying to keep characters of colour down *because* they're people of colour is just... slanted evidence. This very thing occurs no matter the colour of the character.
I can totally understand being on the defensive. Being attacked tends to make some people overcompensate while defending themselves, especially against something as hot-button as racism. Yeah, I can understand it... sort of. I just think it tends to make matters worse.
