I often wonder about the 'crazy' label myself, and appreciate very much, your use of the word 'cruel.'

It's a bizarre world we live in. Let me give you my life, example. I have this ex husband. Who has apparently, vilified me, in my community, well, certain factions. I'm the one, in therapy, and have prescribed medications. A small dose prescription, comparatively, but still a prescription. Even, when married, this 'crazy' label, has flowed through his mouth.

Ironically, my neurologist, once said to me, that I had to be one of the sanest people he knows. I never mentioned, what's been said, but he has said this. I had another doctor, upon telling her, about something or another, mentioned, that it sounded like a very logical and rational decision I'd made.

Now, when I have doctors telling me, I am logical and rational, where on earth did 'crazy' come into place here?

See, I wonder about certain 'normals', and I wonder why such stigma around seeking counseling.

This isn't to say, I don't have a diagnosis, MS/anxiety/depression is what I have. Speaking of stigmas and labels, I once had this online friend, say, so sorry what's going to happen to my mental capacities with my MS. ugh....does the lack of awareness, ever cease to amaze me?
