Here my friend paused to light a cigarette, then went on with his story: "And with all that, you find her forever afraid that some misfortune will befall one of us; she wants me never to go far from the house. If she reads of somebody's death, she suddenly declares that one of us is suffering from the very same complaint, and she fills the house with drugs and medicines; and to keep the scales of peace balanced I am obliged to take my share of the medicine, though the doctor has assured her that we are both sound of body." He went on talking about her, but this much suffices for an understanding of her trouble.
— Yes, all this proves to me that your wife is nervous of temperament. And the nervous person may come to a sadder state still, shrinking into himself out of some fear, or a feeling of inferiority and pessimism, without uttering a word; or foreboding the coming of disaster and talking forever of his pains and his weariness. Yet these are intelligent and amiable people, and in the life stories of the great we find that most of them belonged to this class. My friend's belief that his wife is nervous means, to him, that she is mad — when in truth nervousness is as far from madness as night is from day.
The nervous person finds himself unlike those who surround him; so he grows troubled, and suffers from the mere imagining of
illusory things, and he is in a perpetual struggle to master them and return to his natural state. We must look upon him as one who has failed in a battle and needs encouragement; once he
finds someone to lean upon, his life rights itself and runs in its natural course. So instead of insulting a person by calling him nervous, this ought to be a phrase by which we praise him!...
