I agree with notthisagain. It is about who we are not what we do. Some very intelligent people can be lovely to be around and others are total shmucks. My p'doc asked me once "Who is the more worthwhile person? The president or the person who is struggling to get better?" The reality is that each person is equal to each other.

Did your partner marry you for what you did or who you are? The people who focus on what you do and not the caring person you are, are not worth it.

Be your own cheer person. Have a special day each week just for you. Have me days.

Who knows...... down the track you could write some brilliant book to do with the stigma attached to mental illness ??????
