I didn't know the details but didn't think you were unhealthy - welfare is about far more than health!
It sounds quite normal to me :-)

Umm, I do have one question. Just what is *normal*?? I've trying to find that state for ages and it just keeps eluding me.
Bob
It's the people next door.
It's anyone who thinks you're weird. We know we're not weird but we think they are ... :-)

When they came up with one of the major psychological tests, for "normal" they used volunteers from among people who were visiting sick relatives in a major hospital in Minnesota in the 1950s.
So "normal" is the kind of answers given by (1) people from Minnesota who (1a) have relatives in a hospital, (1b) visit them, and (2c) are willing to take a psychological test to help out some researchers. Note: (2) the answers they gave are the ones they will admit to a stranger in writing, not necessarily the whole truth.
