I refuse the idea that I am insane, and yes I balk at the idea of documenting how I "fail" to use my reason all day every day.

Having our defenses is using reason. We acquired these defenses to survive. It was very reasonable to acquire these defenses. The thing that didn't have reason was whatever pushed us into needing these defenses.
When you use your defenses you are reflexively falling back on a past use of reason.
