Yes, palemoss, it's true: lots of people are afraid of MI and think it's catching. So they rule you out. But in my experience that still leaves a whole lot of other normal people who will do no such thing. They'll be your friends and companions despite whatever you're suffering from. I don't know your exact situation, whether you feel EVERYONE is doing this or only some people. I think it's only some people. You can't let the bad ones get you down. There are always people one will rub the wrong way. Even if you're 100% normal.

Me, I try as hard as I can to hide it when I go out. When I mingle with the mob. I pretend I'm an actor in a play and my part is "being normal." I can do a pretty good imitation of that if I try hard enough. But I do have to put my mind to it. Serious work.

We don't get HBO so I haven't seen those shows. But I have no doubt that they're interesting. At the same time, keep in mind that television almost never (and I wonder about that "almost") portrays reality correctly. Reality is a whole lot less dramatic and entertaining than TV has to be to attract an audience. Even "reality" shows aren't real. They're too "concentrated," focussed on very small, specific situations over and over and over.

Well, I hope you feel better. Do you have a T? Are you on meds? Do you have any friends or family? These things can help. Take care!
