(I hope this makes sense.) I think a lot of us are sick, and feel sick because of what we are taught what (being) normal is. I am not sure I have ever met a NORMAL person. Ok, maybe it doesn't make us sick, but makes us feel worse.

We don't always smile like they do on TeeVee. Like most of us do during a photograph. I hate that. If I am not naturally smiling, I don't want to fake smile on camera. I think it is perfectly normal to experience the full range of emotions, and to show them. And to feel ok with not feeling ok.

So, how am I doing? I would like people to say how they are really doing when asked. Not just give a canned response. I think that could be therapeutic.
