1. Well, that would at least have to wait until your next post.

Yeah, that's glib, but I don't mean it to be. You don't have to be that self-identity to us.

Now, to yourself? I don't know how that works or what that specific malady entails in ones mind - being that it is of the mind.

I would hope there would be medication that helps. Then, you can become the person responsible for taking certain medicines and noting your feelings so you and a doctor can adjust dosages and change tacks. I'd think that a positive approach. First and foremost, you're a responsible person.

A responsible person with a difficult challenge. Not a bad identity.

There are many things that can be wrong with people. A livable challenge, and I will add here that you are indeed living, sure beats identities that have so little future hope such as: untreatable cancer, being on death row, having a passion for torturing people, being a Republican. (Certainly not to lump you in with these terrible situations, in fact to say that these are not you, not your identity.)

So, how do these people self-identify. I think they look at your situation as minor.

I just hope you can get past your concern and help our country out with the rest of us flawed souls.

Just wishing you health and happiness from another Detroiter.
