you didnt offend me at all i was just discussing the way people with psychological problems( i hate the word mental illness). are viewed as being freaks as you said. What kind of a job did you have where they drew pictures on your locker. I have always worked in male dominated, what would be considered macho jobs, and there is no way that i would say anything. To tell you the truth i didnt really have what i considered to be a problem until two years after i retired on a disability. The problem was there i just didnt see it as a permanent problem at that point, just a temporary reaction. Now i know its never going away, maybe i can control it maybe i cant.
