FIVE GUARANTEES

At the beginning of the year my therapist gave me a questionnaire.. One of the questions was. "what would you like people to know about you?" My reply was "I would like for people to know I'm a lot closer to normal then they think"

I dont even know what the hell that means now.I compare myself to what everyone else has and what everyone else is doing and I wonder what the hell is wrong with me?

Today was not my favorite day at therapy.
