Dear Richard:

You are welcome, and please keep posting and updating, as you have done yesterday. You mentioned a few times in your thread that you suffer from a mental illness. I am wondering: what is your personal definition of mental illness, and how are you, as a mentally-ill person, different from other people who are not mentally ill (?)

“This site and you all are an invaluable resource”- maybe the following quote from the founder and owner of this wonderful site, Lori Deschene, will help you when you have another rough day, such as the one before yesterday:

“If you’re giving your all but it takes all you have just to get through the day, it doesn’t mean your best isn’t good enough. It means life is just that hard right now. Be good to yourself. You need it”.
