You know, Forest, I have a psychiatrist and a therapist, and I consider myself plenty damn healthy. I was able to recognize that I needed help, got it, and have become a much better person for it. I really resent your remark that "doctors and therapists are for SICK people." Yup. I have depression. I have PTSD. It seems like you consider those weaknesses. I consider them as one more part of my life I have to deal with, like paying the bills or taking the dog for a walk. Does that sound like a sick person?

By the way, until being struck down by a PHYSICAL illness, I had a professional job, and I have a master's degree and teach part-time on the university level.
