Here I sit in the same drive thru I’ve been through from time to time for 25+ years. I remember being in this line and feeling on top of the world. Tonight is the absolute opposite.
If I can prevent one of you from going down my path, then this post is worth it.
Engage with people. Join groups. Like sports teams, community theatre, volunteer groups, or one of the one million plus MeetUp Groups out there (or the equivalent outside the US).
If your family members bring you pain theb COMPLETELY WRITE THEM OFF. It’s worth it.
I let this happen to me. I could have fought it. I just gave up even though I had fight left in me.
I’m convinced life can be wonderful if you dont fall prey to consumerism and other bullshit.
But if you have serious illnesses and you are young, there are so many more options for you than when I was young. There’s much less stigma
Please be open to the possibility that there is a way out.
