It really bothers me when people say that.
I mean….
I acknowledge that the biology in (most of) us is different of that from ‘normal’ people…which would probably qualify as ‘sick’.
I even call it an illness.
And I believe that it is.
But…I hear someone say ‘I am SOOOO sick’ or ‘I am sick, sick, sick’…in *MY* mind that translates to something like:
I am bad and I repulse myself.
And I’m not and I don’t.
And neither should you.
I don’t hear cancer patients sitting around…belittling themselves that they are sick sick people (in a self-demeaning sort of way).
Neither should we.
Yeah…I *KNOW* we’ve hurt people…I *KNOW* we’ve done some crappy things….maybe TERRIBLE things.
OK.
Now we get it….now we know what’s wrong…and what we can do to change things.
It’s not easy….
Because…there is a part of us that doesn’t WANT to change….THAT part of the brain isn’t affected by consequences….it just wants (or needs) to feel good…and it knows how.
For a while,
For me
It was a war….
A war within myself
And everything was at stake.
Much love to you.
Try.
