Indeed okydoky,
thanks for telling us how you feel. Believe it or not, I think it helps others to hear it just as it helped you to write.
Mental illnesses carry such a stigma. Nobody blames you for having an infection or expects you to be talked out of a broken leg. Even after a lifetime of smoking induces cancer, only the most heartless would openly accuse the victim of causing it.
Yet with mental troubles we have to deal with "disbelief", being called "lazy", "weak-minded", etc. So maybe a bit of FU attitude is something to keep in mind too.
Take Care ;)
Mr. M.
