g_g_g: I'd be happy to read it, but I'm new here and don't know how the back-channel thingy works. I'll look around later today & see if I can figure it out.
As for the exaggeration, I know exactly what you mean -- I hear myself talking to the pdoc & think to myself, "Jeeze I must sound really crazy," then I make a joke or dial it back so I sound more normal. As I said before, being "normal" was the way to get by in my family, so I worked hard to create a "normal" version of myself to use as a kind of puppet that I could hide behind.
