who is normal? we are as normal as everyone eles... we only feel like we are not because we are told we are not... you can not tell me that there are people who do not hold dark secrets about them selfs or their beliefs or fears etc.. normality is what some one who says they are educated has said in a text book that this is normality... those who think that they are smart will be made ignorant... and those who seek wisdom shall find true knowledge...

to those who tell youyou are not normal... poo on them

[lil-angel-wings]

[lil-angel-wings]

[costello]

Hope you're doing ok, lil-angel-wings. Are you settling in to your new home? Hope it's not too stressful adjusting there.

[Erti]

I've had people tell me that. However I'm not sure what to think about it. I don't see myself as ill because I don't feel like I'm ill.

I admire your strength angel-wings. I wish that I could fight back against those who tell me I'm 'not normal' but I've, rather stupidly, absorbed their labels and now have to fight the battle on two fronts, within and without.

thank you for this....it has been a struggle as of late....no more going out with out my husband... not even to do yard work....to many issues with fear and neighbirs who watch our everymove....got yelled at last night for mowing at dusk as the neighbor was trying to hunt....how did i know? he didn't come over and tell me!....that is just one instance in the small scheme of things....feeling very threatedned so we have sucured the house fully and we will defend ot the end if need be...."in side and out"....God is my refugee....the house is nice, but its the first time in over ten years that i have lived where the windows are are street level... been in upstares apartments and had things very secure then too... never have windows open... PTL for centrel air....

Thanks again...They are ever present....its amazing how fast they find you even when you move all the way across the contry...

Maybe it will get easier when you get used to it? I'm sorry to hear your neighbor was rude. You don't deserve that. I'm glad you can secure your house. Just tuck yourself up there and stay safe.

I'll keep you in my thoughts.

I agree. Being normal is way overrated. Quirkiness can be great. There are many people in this world I would rather not be like.

Sometimes I feel that walking into a shopping centre while in an episode is a bit like kicking a nest of wasps - our very difficulties seem to attract what we fear - rejection and challenges to be what we are not.

But some things are painful, even when others don't marginalise us for our differences. Not being able to go out because of paranoia, accusing voices, disproportionate guilt, social confusion and awkwardness, jumbled up thoughts, difficulty with reading and memory, drained energy, hopelessness, and general inability to work and earn a living because of our limitations can be very hard to live with.

Hold on tight, and remember you are loved.

"we're a million strong and getting stronger"-barlowgirl

think that's a good quote for a post like this

what is normal anyway... what defies normal

we are all diffrent

[LostMom3]

I only tell people that are close to me that there is anything wrong with me. That is usually when I am in a bad bad way and things are noticably different with me. When I am not hearing my voices or not seeing things not there people can't tell that I am any different than they are. Every one has quirky ways so I fit in.

[likewater]

I think i'm beyond caring sometimes what they think now as long as i'm not arrested again. Actually I dona't know what I think. Besides, there are different alters in me who probably care they havven't been around in awhile. Strangely doing worse. Think they help.

The first rule is there is no normal. The people who say they are normal are the ones with the real problem, because they are blinded by their own closed mind.

Amen! I love it. When I look at your picture I see a beautiful igloo eskimo camp loaded with tents fishing poles or feet warmer. It's a barefoot situation that she must give all due respect to others, which is a wonderful and rare gift, or symptom. Mom is still into a little gossip etc. but for the most part she stays to herself, minds her own boundaries, respect every patient and doctor and nurses.
