I hate to say it, but some of the worst I have heard have been from those in my own profession who still adhere to the old belief that if you are aware and work on your "issues", then you have overcome them and are perfect, more or less. Well, too many folks have problems that can't be "risen above" anymore than PKU or MS. Most of these folks I've mentioned have pretty glaring issues that are more destructive than mine, but because I am aware of mine and am medicated, then I am automatically on the outs.
There is a grain of truth to all stereotypes, but one grain does not make a silo. Most folks I know can bring in the whole blanking harvest when it comes to the mentally ill. Yes, when confronted I do smile, acknowledge that most folks are pretty unkonwing in this area, but after a while, I want to blow, and here is a pretty safe place to do it.
Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a few mattresses that I have to finish bolting to my bedroom wall... Huggs all, and humor if it helps!
