But all this is useless to talk about. I want the crazy people to run wild in the streets. Or at least admit that they already are.
I study in the health / care field, where you can earnestly be labelled "dysfunctional" because you were too stressed out to ask a question, or forgot to send back a paper to school.
As for the patients... I remember a man who had had a stroke a few weeks before. He was in a wheelchair. When asked about his relation to his family -it was an item in a "communication" test- , tears came to his eyes and he started sobbing uncontrolably, saying he had a wonderful family and they helped him a lot. My teacher's comment when I mentioned it later ? "Oh, it's because of his brain injury. People with a right-hemisphere stroke can suddenly be oversensitive to certain things, and they're very self-centered anyway."
Same teacher later said I had to "question my fears" because I told her I didn't want to live in the countryside, to have kids or a driver's license.
