Opinions...everyone's got one

I am just boggled at the way people treat others when someone expresses an opinion. Seriously? Everyone has an opinion. Kinda like a an ass. EVERYONE HAS ONE!!! Today I was reading something about preparing for the cruise and not contracting a cold, flu or some other virus. A doctor had suggested to her that she might want to start taking Emergen-C and get her body virus shield up. Not a bad idea since there are people on a ship from the world over. I have no idea what kind of germies they have in Europe just as the europeans don't know what kind of germies are here in the states. Why not be as prepared as possible? Duh.

Good grief!!! The onslaught that proceeded from just one statement was insane. "Use hand sanitizers. Don't use hand sanitizers. Use soap and water. Don't take that much vitamin C. Do take that much vitamin C. That's not healthy. Not a good idea. You can get sick from that much vitamin C. My family takes vitamin C all of the time. Hand sanitizers aren't good to use." Are you bloody well kidding me??? Hello!!! Every single human body on this big round blue ball has cells within us that are completely totally and 100% different than everyone else. Vitamins effect everyone completely different. Did you know that no two people have the same DNA? Well...maybe twins and multiples but I'm getting off track. Medicines don't always work on everyone. They react in different ways. What may work for me may not work for you. Didn't I mention "duh" earlier?

Advice. That is all this person was giving. What her physician suggested. It was a suggestion but it went all psycho crazy. Is vitamin C good for you? Yes. Are hand sanitizers good? Yes. The thing is...ALL WITHIN REASON!!! Holy crow people. Use your melons. That's why God gave it to you. To think with and use reason.

People have opinions and that is all they are. Opinions. No one is telling anyone what to do, what to take and how to act. Take the opinion. Use what works for you and throw the rest out. It's as simple as that. Don't go all armageddon on someone for offering their opinion and advice.

love

It's a struggle knowing he didn't love me and never did.  To find out the things he does now for his wife?  The woman who is bigger than I ever was, the woman who has been married multiple times, the woman who is tatted up and he hated tats, the woman who shows jealousy, the woman he won't keep secrets from but kept them from me, the woman who is everything he said he hated in me.  Knowing all of this has made me hate him.  I know it does nothing to him.  It will only eat away at me but that has been happening to me for almost 20 years.  I can only now admit that I hate this man with every fiber of my being.    When I met him, I was in a good place.  I was happy with myself, I had friends, I loved sex and I believed in love.  In the almost 2 years I was with him, he destroyed every last bit of me.  I know it was only 2 years but in 2 years, he obliterated every bit of who I was.  Not a day went by where he didn't mentally or em...

Too much...

 There are days I enjoy living my life.  There are days I thoroughly hate it.  Yesterday, while grocery shopping, I almost had a breakdown.  Standing there in the aisle, I had to fight, with everything in me, to not start crying.   Too much has been hitting me this month and I think I'm at the end of my rope.   Beginning of the month, D's new wife sent me a text telling me to lose his number, email and address because I already had my chance with him. I laughed at the absurdity of everything she said in that text as it sounded like something a teenaged girl would write. I haven't wanted that man in almost 20 years, so, she is either highly jealous of his past and any woman he used to be interested in or is extremely insecure with herself and her relationship.  Regardless of her mental state, I told her I was just catching up on life with him, but I will respect her request and not talk to him again.  I've been told she has been married 4...

A lifetime

 I have been mentally ill for as long as I can remember.  I honestly don't remember a time when I thought I was worth loving or even being allowed to live.  I've been suicidal, I've had a catatonic moment, I've been severely depressed.  In essence, I've been a mental mess.  I didn't know why.  I just was.  Doctors put me on medication but they barely touched my illness.  The demons were still there.  When I went off of the medication, those voices were loud and strong.   They controlled me.  The problem was...I didn't mind it.  It was a comfort for me.  It was my safe space.  I embraced their words. I know that sounds twisted but mental illness doesn't make sense. One year ago I decided I had enough.  I wanted to be happy.  I wanted to live my life, not just exist in it.  I went back on medication.  It helped...for a while.  Then those voices started coming back.  "You aren't worth i...
