this is why in many mercury toxic people, that if the illness is not enough to tip them, comments from others can. And we have a duty to ourselves to cut those people out or cut them off and be a friend to ourselves and others with the same problem. THe truly good people are the ones who believe in you, even if they don't understand the illness and support you regardless. They matter, the rest do not.

I have found this illness brings out the best and worst in other people around me. I find out who my true friends are and to heck with the others.

It's a horrible illness, invisible and insidious and it can give the impression of you being ok, and inside you can go through sheer hell on earth.
