People DO NOT understand. Unless you are missing all your limbs, they assume that you can "just snap out of it;" "just get out among people;" "just don't think about it; "count your blessings", etc. I'm not saying that finding Jesus wouldn't be an answer, but some people find that easy to do, and some of us just don't. Some people have flawless skin, wear a size 4, whistle while they work, and "never have had that problem." It's okay. The world is certainly not fair or balanced. The universe is well balanced. If it weren't, it would all be one be gravitational lump, with no survivors. I have to and do assume that there will be a good day for each bad one. I tend to measure 26 out of 30 on the depression scale, so I figure I have more than 50 years of good days coming sometime. I had a psychology professor/therapist who told me one day that "billie, people are just stupid. You have to take that into consideration." Hallalooyah for those who have found Jesus. I think it's a wonderful thing. But the missions church told me the same thing, and I became so sick with the thought that there was something spiritually wrong with me, that I had to change to a more theological-approach church. Tell the stupid people who say such things just to be grateful that they are not feeling what you are feeling. billieJ
