Herculepoirot

Thanks for that. That was very articulate and insightful.

Back before I sucked, I was in the military and was very successful without conforming to what is a rigid culture. It kind of amazes me that I did well in an environment I never was really a part of.

Maybe that is the wrong turn that I made.

I think that there may be "pre-depression" signs that people often miss or ignore, which can make things much worse. In retrospect, I think I did that and completely ignored the warning signs, but I was still quite young and still had that feeling of invincibility, despite getting smacked upside the head with epilepsy. But that is different than not being 100% obedient to a shrink or making a wrong turn in life.
