I agree with your statement about mental illness. As to adding "my sense of" to every statement, I only really meant implicitly, but often you have to be explicit, at least once in a while. When you say "That must, by the nature of it, be what you mean" it's very often not what people mean because people often think that their subjective reality really is objective, enough so that even people that believe in consensus subjectivity instead of objectivity often presume that the person they're talking to doesn't, which can lead straight into arguments.
