Hmmm..
..I feel lucky now.

I don't get on with psychiatrists but I guess I've done a good job of stringing mine along for the last 8 years since I got out of hospital. I tell them I'm pretty much fine and extoll the "virtues" of the meds and they leave me alone. I don't talk about being suicidal everyday or my frequent freak-outs that happen in many forms.. so I guess no-one in the medical system really knows what's going on in my head, and I try and keep it together enough so that no-one tells them. The only good I feel could come out of being honest is scoring some benzos.. but I'd rather be seen as a success story than a liability.. anything to keep from being sectioned again.

So I guess my psych put in a good word for me. Perhaps I'm just lucky. But then I know a guy who hallucinates all the time who has a full license. Perhaps it's just the one area where doctors in this county give mental patients some leeway.. middle England must drive! (I'm about 20 miles south of Birmingham)
