It is ok to be angry, it is ok to have some obessiong once in a while. You are precious to all your friends and family.
There is not doubt you are a good, very good person.
I told me girl it is ok to be a bad girl, oh well, maybe what is bad to her it is interpreted as good for other people..

Thanks for the response, Millie. My Mom just got back from shopping (having driven to the store, of course), and it just got me frustrated again. In addition to epilepsy, I have obsessive-compulsiv e disorder and attention-deficit disorder which make finding something else to do very difficult (hey, at least I didn't say "impossible" .
I've been undergoing counseling for the past 30 years for my obsessive-compulsiv e disorder. The trouble is that I'm not a talker. In large groups, I'm a wallflower and in one-on-one situations, like with a therapist, she or he does all of the talking.
It seems I've spent my whole life trying to be a good person -- helping others when they need help, lending my expertise in areas in which I have some -- I mean REALLY trying to be a good person. I was laughed at as a child for having a large head as a result of hydrocephalus and maybe I tried to make people like me by being a "good boy."
Composing this message is making me angry so I think I'll end the message here.
Mark
