> Yes, and quite frankly I enjoy pissing off these people. Telling them that we are basically "nothing but a sack of chemicals." Because basically its the truth.
>Oh I am so sorry Old School. I misunderstood the title of your post to be an invitation to dialogue. But you know ranting is terribly therapeutic. In fact many people, including myself, actually pay professionals to listen to us rant. That way we won't burden our friends and family or hurt or anger those who feel differently. But I won't interrupt you with any further replies. I apologize for the misunderstanding. Perhaps it would help to prevent further confusion if you changed the post title to "I have no desire to relate well to the mental health community" or something along those lines.
I'm sorry if it disappoints you, but I am not one bit "pissed off" by your point of view. It doesn't bother me at all to be told that "we are nothing but a sack of chemicals." In fact I consider that part of the miraculous nature of life - that so many different types of people can come from such a similar sack of chemicals.
And I still quite enjoy reading your posts. In fact, I wish I could introduce you to my father. You two would really enjoy each other. And I quite like my father and enjoy listening to him. But I won't bother you any further by replying to your posts.
Best wishes,
Dinah
