I guess there's a difference between feeling sick and being sick.

I never feel sick, even in an episode. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I just see myself as a person who is struggling to deal with what life throws at them... because everyone has their struggles, some of which are biological/biochemical and some of which are not. I guess by definition that biological/biochemical problems imply "sick", but that means billions of other people are "sick" too.

And yes, i know there are different degrees of "sick." Like, stage 4 cancer is an extreme example of someone who is very sick, while someone with a mild cough they caught from the common cold is likely not as sick. And I know that everyone handles "sick" differently. However, we're all "sick" in our own way. I don't want to call myself "sick" because then I feel like I'm pitying myself over other people, if that makes sense.
