I hope you're feeling better. I'm in the same boat! Funny that you should mention your mother, everyone in my family denies their mental illness. But, I've finally figured out where I inherited what. Not that anyone around here would ever admit to anything! What a miserable lot..........
So, we're screwed up and both hate it. Does that mean we are doomed to have an unsuccessful and happy life? Look at Hollywood, they're all neurotic and wealthy. I also hear that a significant percent of Psychologists and Psychiatrists have mental health problems. It seems some neurotics are using their issue to their advantage. Maybe we can too?
