Janie - we have had a smiliar life experience by the sounds of it. However, you are lucky you did'nt wind up in the funny

farm like, thanks to my mom, I did. Anyway it taught me more about life and the human mind (not to mention how quaks think). I am not on any meds currently and apart from slight seclusion from family & society I am a happy chappy
Ispirational read and it is great (ok for me) to know that so many others are bearing the same cross so as to speak - it gives me a lot of hope to hear all your stories and to know that a few tokes allows me to live a better than normal life - which the psychs all told me I had no chance of having!
Goes to show how much they really know - squat!
