Just be kind to me, please. I really feel the need to " come out" about this. I already have in the Lounge in a lot of ways, bit by bit

Yes, I had basically a slow motion nervous breakdown this summer, and they did pretty much have to scrape me off the floor.

Don't want this to be a big weepy downer of a thread. The experience was traumatic, but a lot of good in my life is coming from it.

I have some interesting observations on our mental health system that I would like to share.

So, ask, I don't bite, and no, I'm not strapped down and drooling on myself, just kind of tired after the week so half blowing off work playing on DU. I'm not a Mark David Chapman, I'm a nice guy who ran afoul in a perfect storm of bad genes and bad luck. And I'm picking up the pieces to the best of my ability.

Ask away, I'll answer as honestly and directly as I can.
