Yes I share the psychosis. And boy am I glad i found this place. (The Downs and you guys) The books are real to me in a way and i constantly think about them and the characters. They have become friends almost. I am also glad to here from husbands and wives who have partners who may not share their psychosis but atleast tolerate it. I feel frustrated sometimes without a friend who is as into JRRT as I. Many think it is silly or strange but then go on talking about Survivor or the Bachlor for hours and I know my obsession is atleast positive, compared the theirs. It is great to be able to get here and discuss what i have come to love so much with ohters who understand. And yes, I still work, pay bills,raise my child, and take care of my family but tonight I may dress-up when I take my littleone out trick or treating. This is a good thing, I think. Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone.
