I need to get this out of my system. People who want to embrace an alphabet soup of diagnoses confound me. There is something about diagnosis that seems to me to be about excluding conditions. I am the sort of person who likes to look on the bright side, though, so I am never looking to fill my downside basket. If I have catatonia and restless leg syndrome, which is the bigger problem?

While I am at it, if someone already has problems: lack of education, inadequate housing, serious health issues (mental or physical), no or inadequate support (emotional or financial), an inability to support a family adequately; why oh why does that person have baby after baby? Babies are a delightful but huge responsibility. I grew up in a family that didn't need or want another baby. Every day I felt everything wrong in my family was my fault. People who want to bring something to 'fruition' can use birth control and instead give 'birth' to better education, a more secure homelife, loving the children they already have, working on their self-esteem issues by giving their genitals a rest.
