Maybe the American obsession with clinical terms and black and white view between okay/ill and disabled is the problem here.

Sure, I am able to work and appear well, that does not mean I am okay at all times. There is a wide scale of well being.

(I hate to consider myself ill for not being able to handle situations life has thrown on me like a psychopath and be unaffected by it. Trauma changes you. I just hope to grow from the paranoid aggressive ***** to wonderfully decandent and wise person).

(I don't mean any offense, whatsoever. I just come from the former Eastern bloc. Which is diagnosis of sorts).
Yes I run into this same friction with my Eastern bloc church members.

The former Soviet Union used brainwashing and psychological abuse during Communist times.

I am sure they think Americans are weak who have PTSD.

I've dealt with this problem for years.

I hope you achieve what you want in life, and I meant that sincerely.

Oh, I just noticed you kind of slurred the United States. Can you please refuse from doing that? It sort of raises hostility with your American viewers.
