trouble:
forgive me if i'm interpretting this incorrectly, but if i understand your question, it is why doesn't your dr. say "why does this happen"? "What is the sense of it"? so to speak.
you have described yourself as a survivor and it certainly seems you are. that doesn't mean you are in any less pain than those who can't stick it out, it means you have chosen life over death.
suicide makes perfect sense to me, which is probably why my husband gets so frightened. when the pain/desperation outweighs the will to live...
it seems to me you like the fight to some extent, or at least have grown used to it. some of us don't.
again, please just excuse this if i got it totally wrong.

>NO, that's right, I like the fight and he won't come out and say so b/c liking the fight means what?I am a deviant. Does anybody think I don't know that yet?
Break the news, no, they never do that, everyone must know except me.
my mom, ella, everyone knew when she was out of her mind and no one ever said anything and I guess that's because they must have known it would have been pointless,right? If she can't stop, she can't stop. So everyone just try not to set her off.
But I would rather be beaten til sun-up than to witness these social exchanges, do you know what I mean? You don't know who to feel sorry for us or her, it's indescribable plus this was a long time ago when people still felt sorry for each other, but we're getting away from that now. You have to do everything right so the best solution is to just stay home.

"Deviant" is kind of a harsh word, you know? To me, deviants are those who molest children and burn people in their houses. They don't feel guilt or shame...Ted Bundy said, "I feel sorry for people who feel guilty."
I think rather we are at the opposite end of the spectrum. Possibly we feel too much of everything;
we have the wrong sort of plumage to blend in. Lately I've been referring to all of us here on the board as "we" so I know I'm taking liberties, speaking about others, but it seems like we do have common problems...feeling isolated, unable to cope with the world at large, lacking some kind of basic defenses, lacking the herding instinct. But that doesn't make us deviants.

P.S. You sound like a writer to me.
