    you are associating she had cancer and she beat it with its all mental

    those two statements are not linked when I type (.....) its a continuation of a thought process but if you wanna hang on to that as your only argument you can but the definition of insanity is to keep doing or saying something to make it seem right to you....but I'm over it and this subject

    It had something to do with his anxiety. It isn't like he is chilling at home drinking margarita's. I am sure he wanted to go to camp but couldn't for some reason.

    I don't understand.
    He attended the draft press conference, but didn't show up on the media day?

    "Couldn't" is too strong a word. I don't think most of you understand anxiety disorders. It is not that he can't but that he refuses to directly confront his fears. It is not a medical condition but rather a mental one that can be overcome.

    Royce said it had to do with his anxiety & Morey said that we continue to support him. Parsons said something similar as well so likely he wasn't just slacking off of practice. And no I don't know for sure. But I refuse to assume the absolute worse. I won't let this incident cloud my previous assessment of Royce which is that he is a classy well spoken guy with a lot of talent. Just wait and see until we get more information.

    No single anxiety disorder is the same. Not every situation is the same. There are writers who suffer from an anxiety attack and literally can't write anymore. Sometimes the meds make it even harder. Sometimes you can't drive when an attack comes on and you can't even tell your family members what is happening during the attack. There are other cases where people can play basketball through an attack and other cases where they cannot.

    Wrong. You say "can't" when you should say "won't". You talk like people have no say in the matter and don't determine their own behavior. Meds have nothing to do with this. The best treatment of anxiety disorders is to face whatever you are afraid of. I know this from professional and personal experience.

    its not as simple as that

    mental illness is very complicated....

    thats why there is a huge suicide rate among returning soldiers....

    those soldiers are the bravest yet still suffer

    Congratulations. And you also can't liken your personal experiences with White's. It manifests itself COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY person to person.
