Every day I write about phobias and the effects that they
have on the lives of the people who suffer from them. Sometimes I sit back and wonder how someone
can be deathly afraid of such trivial things like butterflies. How is a butterfly scary? I don’t understand it, because I’ve never
experienced it. We’re all quick to judge
the shortcomings of others, because it makes us feel better. It makes us feel like we’re in control of our
own lives when in fact if we didn’t have our own shortcoming we wouldn’t be
worried about everyone else’s.
I have Fibromyalgia and I’ve
been fighting this invisible battle for the last 22 years. Most people never even realized anything was
wrong with me until the last couple of years.
These people never paid attention to the changes taking place in my
life. They never cared, but for some
reason they choose to judge me now. I
should have a full time job and my life should be all full of sunshine just like
the lady on the Lyrica commercial. First
of all I don’t take Lyrica and secondly I got fired from my last full time job
because I had to go to the doctor so much, because if I put too much strain on
my body it goes absolutely haywire and I end up with extreme pain, fever,
rashes and migraines.
We all face our own battles and
if we’re busy judging someone else’s ability to fight their battle, then we’re
not focusing on our own. You can’t be
all up in someone else’s business and keep track of your own. It just can’t be done and it just turns into
a vicious cycle that gets us nowhere. Why would anyone want to live like that?
I hope everyone is having a good
night. Now get out of everyone else’s business and be brilliant!
