My Bottom Line

I am firmly committed to the belief that I am not mentally ill. I have a chemical imbalance in my brain. I also have a chemical imbalance in my stomach. Nobody criticizes me for taking ant-acids to relieve the distress in my stomach. While we're on that topic, I wear glasses (a crutch?) and orthopedic shoes. For my brain, I take four different medications and, frankly, they're a lot less effective than the glasses or the shoes, but at least I can get through the day with both my psyche and the soles of my feet in fairly good shape. My stomach, well that's another matter.Life is too short to eat bland food!
