Hey.
Today was the last session of the mental health examination. Important points:
1) I'm probably too healthy to qualify for a mental health disability. I asked for formal diagnosis papers, tho'.
2) I probably won't need drug therapy (whew!).
3) I'll start psychotherapy in a couple weeks.
4) The therapist tells me he deals with a number of intelligent, high-functioning people who have trouble coping and that I'm not alone.
On that last point, my mother and I discussed the proposition that if anything, the education and socialization cultures unnecessarily penalize the intelligent. There may be some truth in that.
FP (still very very F)
PS: Producers Are Money-Grubbing Scum.
