Sorry for thinking-judging, showing again my opinion, about her comments that support invading someone else's privacy under the idea that one must not smile if she is depressed and therefore the medical health personnel was wrong when assessed that.
The idea that someone can't go on a holiday and have the worst time inside while trying to " put on a happy face and pretend with the best of them"( too) it's contradicted quite by her AAAAA! What's worrying me is AAAAA's final words. Something is happening with her - but yes, we shouldn't attract her the attention in such a way. I just snapped out as she did too! I am not a saint! I have felt quite very bad, after reading her comments, just for still existing and smiling, joking... while in depression.

Although we are " similiar in many many ways." we are also different in so many ways and I could hardly say " I completely understand what you are saying"

I would like to be corrected in the same way when I make remarks that look strange, that's why we are here (?):

“If she was able to travel, go out and socialize, why was she unable to work?”
“I was unable to eat, shower or do any of the "normal" everyday things that people take for granted
“there's no way that I would have been able to do the things she's caught on camera. Perhaps it's my work ethic, upbringing, or just my own personal belief system but if I'm healthy enough for a vacation, I'm healthy enough to haul my butt to work.”
“You're jumping to the conclusion that I base my opinion on how she looks in a few photos that is just not the case, it's the actions, ie the ability to travel to another destination. This is not someplace she had to go, she chose to.”
“I have no control over how the question "if she can go on vacation, why can't she work" strikes you, but it is a legitimate question
“feel resentment that billions of people every day are able to do all of these things without a thought. And these are my good days.

I'm not being judgemental, I'm angry and jealous.”

I do apologize and send this and this to AAAAA and to that woman from facebook who might be on the site and wants to see how people look at her after that story, this:
Gabi the first comment came from Imapatient. The second one was from me. AAAAA posted her thought's on this woman. When you post a thread it's not a guarentee that everyone is going to feel the same way. Some how this post turned into AAAAA when really it needs to stick with what was really posted.

Wow, that was judgemental. How dare you assume that AAAAA is not depressed or disabled just because she has a different opinion than you? It's clear from her posts that she has struggled a lot for many years.

your judgment of her and others of us who ARE disabled is insulting.
And hypocritical too. You get mad at her for "judging" while you are doing extremely judgmental yourself. Please stop with the "I'M disabled but you're NOT" attitude.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
