> I feel being content and accepting of life's responsibilities ups and downs and enjoying some great feelings is rather normal and kind of what I personally should aim for. I understand what you felt. When younger and didn't care nor take meds I just lived and felt content. Phillipa
Yes that's how I used to feel too before age 12. When the ups came I could feel pride and pleasure in success or good fortune. When the downs came I just rode them out. I didn't feel then that life had any particular issue with me personally. We all had strengths and weaknesses. I didn't feel so afflicted and defective and looked down on by other people the way I do today.
