BE WARE , This might upset some of you or remind you of painfull stuff .
I read all the time about people who had a tough childhood , sexual abuse , bad parents , bullying .... And I relate to all of that but not nearly as bad as most people experience .
I was molested as a child by a stranger I never saw again , other children live years in fear and abuse .
My mom literally tore parts of my skin with her nails and other incidents , but she's not the most evil mother on the planet and I think she is ill .
I was bullied in school for many years . But you see , people like Oprah Winfrey for example had it much worse yet she is the epitome of success.She's not feeling sorry for herself , ruining her Future, depressed all the time ,... Sometimes I think I got ill because I was not strong enough ,these people didn't get ill , they became heroes ....
Sorry for the long read and I swear I mean no disrespect to anyone , You are all strong and good people , it's just that I'm seriously depressed .

Once again I've had a fever today. I'm not going to the hospital because that's a huge waste of time but I did schedule a dr appointment for Wednesday afternoon.
It never helps for us to compare ourselves to others. We are unique and our experiences are unique to us.
And don't forget, BP is not a disease of our morality or behavior, it's a chemical disorder of the brain. We can't control that.
Hope you start to feel better soon.
Also I hate it when people say things to me like well so and so can i don't know why you can't. and I just get so mad at that kind of thing. and it is always some woman with 5 kids and a deployed husband and may or may not have an illness and everything is freaking "perfect" and i just want to punch that person and the one who compares me in the face! which is odd since i am not really a violent woman .
and even odder is that before this person came in my life comparing me negaivly to others i would just feel happy when others did well, like man i feel so great for you, but being put down and raising others up has a bad effect on a person. also who knows what those people are hiding under the surface. i was watching this episode about a guy with ocd, and to me i think man wish my house always looked so great, but then watching it i realze that 1 i am pretty sure i have ocd, but not like his exactly, and 2 this guy was so miserable and had trouble with relationships. some people are better at hiding things, and some people are just wireddifferently. and i too get depressed or frustrated about it. its so hard like why can't i do it too. but you know life is bizzare. try not to get too down about it though.
