5. Paranoia is a big part of my natural unmedicated state.

Aug 2013

I become a feral human, skittish and distrustful of others.

Only a few people have been able to draw me out of that and it's never been anyone who told me that I "must not give in to the paranoia."

I had a paleontology professor who invited me along for some field work after I'd been asked to leave school a second time. He eventually helped me get back into school and graduate.

It was always things like that, people who accepted me as I was, never the mean or well-meaning people shaking me up and telling me to get hold of myself, put a smile on my face, or whatever latest Social Darwinist fad was.
