Hi Myzen, I don't think we've really met, but I've admired your clear and challenging thinking in these forums very much, and this one is no exception.

Irony is something I notice a lot as a rule, perhaps I'm simply fond of turning things around, but I find the ironic aspect of anything to be so informative. In relation to self worth and such, part that seems ironic to me is that soon we, the dx'd, carry a conciousness vastly broadened by our various degrees of "otherness." We end up knowing two streams and managing the confluence of them to balance whatever our best version of life that we can. Frankly, this sensibility now seems indispensible and I doubt I would have it to this degree with out the disorder so to speak. Maybe i'm taking the long way around the barn to say that my picture of the universe is larger than one that never had to consider their psychiatric nature.

The short cut though still is probably just to pronounce yourself the finest person in the world and simply live with it. LOL
