the issue of whether i'm "qualified" seems to come up often between us, SAWE. i dont know why this is an issue for you (with me in particular), but im tired of having my goodwill concern & replies to you turned around into something i have to defend.

ive been in therapy for almost 6 years now. the reminder doesnt make me feel like a failure - it shows me how much i've improved when i reflect on where i started and where i am today. i'm sorry that you feel like a failure, but quite frankly it's not my fault for bringing up a fact -- you're pushing responsibility for your negative emotions onto me.
