Except for when they tell themselves that I am the only sick one in the family, because I got help and changed my life instead of wallowing in my disorders and acting "crazy" like they do. They just ignore the fact that they act like I do at times when I am ill. Where do they think I got it from if not from genetics?? It is easier for them to see me as the identified patient, even when the rest of them are falling apart. Anyways, I guess I am a little bitter about them. But hey, I have a great full time job, a great partner, and a great life in general. So I must be doing something right.
They might be jealous of you, because you sucked it up and got treatment instead of ignoring it
Thanks for this!
