Ok, so, I realize that everyone is probably a little crazy in some way or another. At least that is what I have always been told. You always here someone having certain quarks or specific strange things about them. But that is normal isn't it? Isn't it normal for each person to be strange, or SPECIAL in a certain way.
This article confirms my suspicions that the Psychiatrists of today are over-diagnosing. I realize the true existence of mental illnesses, but too many people who are sad are depressed, who are moody are bi-polar, and so forth. I think that too many doctors are seeing our unique qualities as diseases, and in some sort taking advantage of that to get us drugged, to make them feel achieved, and to make money.
On the other hand, it may be because so many people are pushing to be like everyone else, "why am I like this?" or "Why can't I be like that person." Too many people are pushing themselves toward the norm... a place that doesn't really exist in life, only in magazines and on TV...
So, go ahead and push yourself there... but remember, you won't impress me. I will just flip the channel or turn the page. Be Yourself!
