The point i was trying to make in my post was Anita says she doesnt "feel" mentally ill and neither did i for the 20+ years i went undiagnosed, just because you don't "feel" mentally ill doesn't mean that you are not.
I was also trying to explain that i am upset at the thought of someone else going through what i have over the years. I spent many years wondering why people thought my behaviour was unusal or why they would say they were worried about me, to me, my behaviour was normal and not strange at all.
I now have treatment and i'm much better.
I think you made this point very well and everyone here would agree with you - but Anita has a pattern of simply ignoring even the most sincere concerns for her mental health and spinning anyone who questions it as mental lunatics out to deprive her of her "investigations."
I think the fact that Anita believes she must "feel" like she is mentally ill to actually have some sort of problem is the largest indicator of where her "abilities" originate from (that would be mental delusions, not paranormal superpowers). As you point out, that is the point of why people have mental health issues - if they realized something was wrong, it wouldn't be a problem to begin with. Mental illnesses are predominately characterized by those suffering from them not knowing that anything is wrong..which is why its a problem.
Either Anita knows this and is simply trying to grab attention or shes mentally ill...or both. But we can at this point rule out any supernatural powers due to her IIG failure.
