This quote makes me sad. Apparently, they found these meetings more serious than I did. I remember being matter-of-fact. Could it get worse at some point? I saw everybody as aliens at the grocery store. That seems like only yesterday. And I completely remember how I felt. Will that happen again then? They said I was manic- severely. Was I? They never told me that. I have this report as part of my disability case: I was given a copy of my records. I'm sure this isn't everything they wrote, but its a glimps. I felt myself thinking someone was after me at the grocery store this afternoon, actually. I told myself, "No, no they're not" but I still hurried away from that person. when does a person slide from thinking people are after them to severely psychotic?
