Denied!

What's that saying, "can't win for losing"? That pretty much sums up my shocked frustration today.

As someone who has to deal with being bipolar, I must say, society certainly doesn't make life any easier.

Really, how would any "normal" person respond to frustration and being egged on? Some might lose their top. Others would go exercise until they feel exhausted.

If people know you are bipolar or have some other mental thing - depression, anxiety, etc. - they mock you and say it's the "disease".

You can't be upset, frustrated or feel any emotion other than the plastic smile that comes from being doped up with meds. You can't be "normal" because you are "messed up in the head".

Give me a break!

Every day I'm starting to wonder what is "normal" and what is a "mental thing" because Lord, some "normal" folks act like they never flip their lids, get worried or frustrated.

Most of us dealing with our "mental" stuff have something going for us: we see our issue(s) and acknowledge they are there. Seems like a lot of the folks snarking at me (and those like me) seem to have forgotten that they aren't perfect either.

It's shocking to realize I'm being denied the right to live a normal life because of my disability different-ability. It's used as a tool to hurt me, stop me and to try to trip me up.

Back off, ya'll. I just discovered Jersey Shore. I'll do a Ronnie and TKO your punk butts in "one shot". LOL

Kidding. Sorta.

Seriously, though. We've all got our own issues. Leave me alone, I'm dealing with mine. You go deal with yours!

You do you, I'll do me. Let's agree to disagree, live and let live. 'Cause honey, I don't exactly agree with everything you do either but you don't see me messing with your life, do you? Which one of us is *really* acting "messed up in the head"?

Aww, yeah. One shot, baby. One shot.

Have fun, stay safe and God bless,
