Wow, what a question - it seems a little "off" to me..

Who gets to define what mentally ill is?

Who gets to define what "normal" or someone's personal "normal" (if any) is

My experience of these people is they are interested in Cost

That's an awkward question to ask. I think he was trying to see how you felt but its a weird way to ask.

For me there isn't a right answer to that. It's day by day and it is a constant battle.

Definitely a strange way to ask the question.
I agree, "a few hours at a time is all I can manage", if true, is the correct answer.

I am "normal"

The complete and utter opposite of another "diagnosis"

I wish I could go up in a puff of smoke

Don't worry, I won't.. Just been disappointed, once again, by the NHS and how dare I? Bad fuzzy to even verbalise that. Bad.
