I just got home from my trip. I appreciate each and every response. I always know that if there is nowhere else in my life where people get it, there is always Babble.
I'll respond individually (or maybe in a group update) tonight and/or tomorrow. I do want to clarify that my T laughed when I told her the quote not because any of this is funny to her, but because the quote itself is so very ridiculous.
The one thing I was able to say to my friend today is, "You know your quotable quote from last night about mental illness being no excuse for bad behavior is utter drivel and, frankly, I'm shocked beyond belief to hear it come out of the mouth of someone who has spent decades working with people with disabilities. What you are seeing today in terms of my ability to function is the result of the month I've had to work on coping skills and new ways of dealing with this with my T. What happened to me on the trip last month was akin to someone going from a mild cognitive impairment to a severe one in a matter of hours. NO ONE would have been prepared for that."
She then told me that the quote was not directed at me. She won't own up to any part of this. It is all very clear to me now. Although I still miss her like crazy.
More later. Thanks to all of you.
