I totally understand where you are coming from. It took me a long while to deal with the thought that I had a mental illness - which I do. I had been defining that term as I did years ago when I was growing up. I remember how I felt about others who were called mentally ill. I thought of them as having an unstable, warped psyche for which they were to blame because they were mentally weak.
