what a strange experience having a mental illness....I think mine was a reaction to the world I saw out there....I did not like what I experienced...the world was ugly...I didn't want to be a part of that ugliness...I didn't want to be associated with hateful greedy people....so now my friends are those who are mentally ill ....it is a kinder gentler group of broken people...they are my good friends....I don't want to be out there with the so called normal people....I don't like the competition...I feel very humbled right now...
