Sar – I don’t know about psycho as a label for us. Most depressed people I’ve met have a much better understanding of the workings of humans than others do. We are psycho to some because we have acknowledged things that others repress, choose not to deal with, or simply refuse to recognize in themselves. If being smart and more attune to the sometimes painful nature of life is psycho then I take it as a compliment. It’s crappy that we have to go through periods of such pain. During those times, the last thing I want is to be a depressed person because it hurts so much. But it ends or lessens, and I think, bit by bit I am becoming happier with who I am. (Not today tho’) History shows a lot of very intelligent and creative prople were depressed. Maybe not much consolation, but I think you can look down on that ex-boyfriend from a bit loftier perch than psycho.
