Do you have a little Uncle Rico in you

This movie came out when I was in high school. All the teachers would quote Uncle Rico and mock him really. I guess they knew a lot of people like him. I guess I’m like him in a way. I just think about how good I would have been at sports if I had the right shoes. So, Yes I am like him in a way. Could of won state.

Do you have a little Uncle Rico in you?

  • A lot

Seriously though I had to wear these huge shin guard type things because it hurt to walk. I had terrible agility. I probably never could have been a D1 athlete or anything. It might have helped me get through college. I felt so beat down I had to get on meds. They just changed me. I’ve never been the same since.

I need to stop thinking about this.

I think I can relate. I lost my career in the navy when I developed symptoms of schizophrenia. It’s heartbreaking, it really is.

@anon17132524 In the Navy I was forced to go to a doctor and on the paperwork I checked that it was involuntary. I took the huge embaressing role rather than get on meds.

Is your schizophrenia a result of PTSD?

No, I don’t think so. The navy agreed with my disability claim that they either caused or aggravated my schizophrenia.

I’ve been out of the Navy for 7 years and it feels like yesterday. I just wish I wasn’t a piece of trash like my Captain called me.

You are not a piece of trash.

Things happen. A few years after I got out of the navy a man tricked me and raped me (I’ve written about this). I do have PTSD from that. I used to blame myself for that.

Psychological problems are just as bad.

You are not, and never were, a piece of trash.

I just had people around me quoting it nonstop when it first came out. So I watched it and thought it was funny. I showed it to one of my friends and he hated it.

My friends all liked it because it was weird, but it was too weird for me.
Like, here’s a bunch of weird people being weird, doing weird things.

Ok, but what else?
