So it just feels like I\’m going insane, and actually my shrink, therapist, and family are right in their collective assessment: that I\’m actually doing remarkably, if not amazingly well, given all the current stressors and my past response to stress.

Apparently, even the psychology algorithm agrees. Well, if an algorithm says it\’s so, we all know I\’m far more likely to believe that than personal opinions. Anonymous numbers over subjectivity. Hard data science over observation. The magic eight ball\’s consistent forecasts over my doctor\’s or mother\’s hypotheses. Why? Simple, Watson: I prefer hard evidence, even if it\’s cockamamie, circular reasoning nonsense that states the obvious. Like the Department of Social Security, I demand proof.
