You seem perfectly sane and lucid, not mentally ill. Perhaps you were misdiagnosed?
I don't really want to question your story. It's just that one of the tactics used by people who defend mental illness is to try to pretend that normal people are never misdiagnosed, or worse, properly diagnosed as ill.
If you could tell us a bit about the methods with which you were diagnosed, that might be informative. For example, were they very scientific?
If this is private, or you're at all uncomfortable, please don't answer. Also, if anyone else has experience with this, please do feel free to answer.
