Thereās some good oneās in there but I strongly disagree with the one saying not to joke about it. Man if I couldnāt make jokes with friends about the whole situation it would have been so much tougher. I also admire and appreciate this about other people dealing with other kinds of suffering, that they can joke as a way of coping.

12 Give me the acceptance and understanding as you would give to e.g. a blind person. I may have some shortcomings but with a proper support I am no different to anybody elseā¦

- Have you ever seen a floating black ball rise from beneath you and move above you then everything you heard someone say is a personal insult similar to what people say right before a fist fight? You couldnāt even begin to understand how terrifying that is or how nice I try to be despite it. So please donāt label me a serial killer, because everyone in my world is a killer. You have no idea what a killer is.

- Youāre probably not as perfectly sane/rational as you think you are, Mr/Ms Neurotypical, so be careful not to dig your own hole while judging others.

āPlease donāt assume Iām dangerous. Sometimeās Iām scared and want to be left alone. Sometimes I want to be with people. However, I would never harm anyone intentionally. I am not a threat to your life or your family. I am not a danger.ā -Sharp

Well let me just open my wallet here anndā¦
ā¦and here it is
I think the basic life lesson that I long ago learned is that āyou never knowā meaning I met enough people and realized enough times that things arenāt always as they seem to just make the assumption up front that they probably arenāt what they seem. I feel like if more people met the world with this mindset this world might be a better place to live.
Unfortunately the opposite seems to happen, too many people at this point in life, probably older than I was when I came to my conclusion, reach a point where theyāve made up their minds that their minds are made up, youāve basically either defined everything or let it be defined for you. I see this as unfortunate.

I would say that Iāve been struggling alone for so many years, and my strength and determination rivals a cancer survivorās. But thereās no run for the cure or 5k or telethon or ribbon that everyone will wear or cute logo or heartwarming storyā¦thereās just me, alone, with millions of others, fighting each day to survive.

āDonāt judge me because you canāt see my disease.ā That is something a former member of our Group said. He has since moved away, but that was the first thing he said to me when I first came in and didnāt want to talk. After that I started talking and couldnāt stop until everything was out.
But as for something I would say?
āWhat is wrong with me canāt be ācuredā only lessened. Even a cancer patient has the hope that one day they will be free of their disease, I donāt have that hope.ā
