Believe it or not. I’m real friendly and polite and people say “hi” or I just joke around with them. People don’t pick on me and I don’t pick on them. I talk to people and it is fun and good for me.
I was standing out in front of the house on the sidewalk watching the cars go by and enjoying the nice, balmy weather and the cute woman who runs this place came out and we just kind of talked for a minute and she was smiling and I made some inane joke and she laughed. After 55 years, 77nick77 is finally a player!
Hey, it’s perfectly alright for me to take it easy. With all the worrying I do and the stress I’m under from trying to hang on to my job, I deserve a little fun. For the past 5 years I have been under constant stress, now I’m going to jump back into the saddle and get on with my life.
I’m glad you’re finding peace! My family unfortunately doesn’t understand sz so they think I’m a “crazy” girl. But other than family, I am liked by others They understand and support me.
When I lived in the group home there were people who were literally in their own world, just talking to themselves all day long and have no awareness of anything around them. There was a lady who couldn’t talk and chainsmoked cigarettes as a way of a slow suicide I figured…she was pretty too, i could tell she wasn’t as old as she looked because she had the legs of a 40 year old, she was just VERY sz. There were other people like that too. Do you have people like this in your group home? Or are they all fairly functional?
