I think those who are 'on the edge' (I speak for myself), so to speak, tend to gravitate towards one another. I find it a little difficult to relate to 'civvies'. I know more than my fair share of headcases. Guys who've spent yrs holed up in squalid Spanish nicks. You know, nice types. ;-) Also friends that have gone on to develop schizophrenia, or year-long psychoses.
>but have always felt my problems were purely biological.
