I ant especially qualified to re- spond because I am a severe neurotic. I've been hospitalized in a mental institution. I am getting psychiatric counseling every week and I attend Recov- ery Incorporated meeting regu- larly. I am emotionally crippled but of course it does not show on the outside, Yet, I do not think of myself as a loser. I think of myself as a winner. Why? Because I am trying. I smile. I cook meals for my fam- ily. I wash and iron their clothes. I go to movies. I try not to complain or burden others with my problems. All the while, the anxiety symptoms I experience from time to time are so severe that they make labor pains seem like a joke, My husband is a wonderful man and I am proud of him. I am also proud of myself and the thousands (maybe millions) of others who are in the same boat. I don't know if I will ever be cured. I DO know, how- ever, that the only loser in my books is the person who doesn't try. Please sign me — A WINNER. Dear Winner: Your letter could only have been written by a person who has insight, compassion and courage. I am betting you will win the fight—in fact, it is better than half won. I applaud you. * * * Dear Ann Landers: I am getting married shortly and I want my wedding to be a beau- tiful one. I have asked six girls to be bridesmaids and they all have acc.Fpt,id. I'vebeen thinking it, over aryl have de-Pr thalalriclesTfishs too many and I want 'to cut it . to three. How can I tell three of my friends that I have changed my mind without hurting their feelings? Mom says to write a note. Please tell me how to phrase it. — SECOND THOU- GHTS. Dear Thoughts: Sorry, but I am not going to tell you how to phrase a note I don't think you should write. Stay with your original de- cision unless you don't mind will travel up the west coast to Comox, B.C., on Vancou- ver Island, where they will reside. For travelling the bride chose a white tweed walking suit with hat to match, white kid gloves and brown leather bag and shoes. losing three friends—in which case, phrasing is not Important because these girls will never feel warmly about you again, no matter how you say it. Dear Ann Landers: At least three people besides me have told this woman that her gum cracking is driving everyone in the office crazy, It has done no good, She still continues to chew like a cow with her mouth wide open, cracking and pop- ping away, for all she is worth. The noise can actually be heard across the hall. (It sounds like a cap pistol). I like my job very much and would hate to quit. But this continual irritation is bad for my blood pressure. I am not going to sign my name to this letter because if I should go berserk one of these days and kick her teeth in I don't want any evidence that it was a planned assault. Thank you.—NERVES SHOT, Dear Shot: No one has the right to shatter the tranquility of those with whom he works. The gum cracker is not only a clod but inconsiderate as well. Tell her once more that she is driving everyone crazy, and if she doesn't cut it out, her vic- tims are going en masse to the boss. Then go. * * * Want to say "no" to drinking without your buddies putting you down? Get cued in. Send for the booklet "Booze and You — For Teen-Agers Only."
