I'm not a perfect person. In fact, one of the things about myself I most often write or talk about is my Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and the co-morbid (occurring at the same time) depression. I struggle with both of these on a regular basis. I also happen to be an introvert, which means I recharge when I'm not around people. Its not that I don't enjoy being around people, I just can't always be around people. So, as I said, I'm far from perfect.
That said, I still get this deep nauseous feeling in my throat when I think about dysfunction. Why? Its not so much because I mind standing besides others as they battle their dysfunction, and as I have had others do for me. Its because of the simple volume of it. Its one thing to stand aside another individual, its another when so many become them. How to react? How to handle this volume? Finite mortals that we are, we find ourselves outpaced, we cannot handle it ourselves.
