I feel frightened. I feel powerless knowing that
simply being a psychiatrist can give someone the power to label another person abnormal or not fit to be part of society. I realize that this is only a BB but we are talking feelings here and those are the feeling it stirs up. I feel sad. I feel the loss of a place where labeled people might find acceptance. I feel concern for Dr. Bob because if he were a patient rather than doctor he would certainly be accused of exhibiting paranoid tendencies. I feel confused because I don't know if I should be glad for him that he is above suspicion or sad for him because he is in need of psychiatric intervention and I am helpless to help him.
I feel sad for bobbity-bob because the world is sad and we are all going to die and there is nothing anyone can do. I feel afraid because I don't want any well-vocabularied babblers jumping in to jump all over me.
