Regarding the idea of fitting in with the "popular belief," the saying I live by is "Why be normal when you can be so much more!"
I'm sorry about your nerves and I sure hope you have a full, quick recovery. I must admit that I'm glad for once I'm not the cause of someone else's nervous disorder. As I keep telling my wife (and my mama before her), it's not *always* my fault.
