When I was growing up, I had classmates who ridiculed me for being handicapped. My parents to this day still don't accept me. They use employers having fired me and my being unable to get anywhere in school to keep me home. If I could get a better job, I could get out. I am 38 and have never been on my own. I am determine. I have improved emotionally, academically(just not on paper), and socially. If someone would give me the time I need to learn the work, I could get there.
I can't having being born with disabilities. I've missed 6 days of work despite having had 30 seizures from '95-'99 during which I missed a day. Whom do you know who's that determined? I've dealt with a bad med for the last 2 1/2 yrs as well. It's caused hallucination, tilting, getting full too quickly, went to 108lbs from 150, and stared into a muse.
I hope to find help this year. At least, I'm not looking for a man to the rescue.

I am sorry for all your troubles... it sometimes come in 3's. This has happened to me several times and I suppose it will happen many more times in my life time.
Life was a lot more free when we were young. Few responsibilities and family around us. Most of us didn't experience much tragedy or loss.
Unfortunately unpleasant things happen. I thought I would have my parents around forever (I really knew better). But the reality came in time and they are gone, children are grown and the world seems somewhat strange and indifferent. I suppose every generation goes through this in some way for their time.
I think the best thing is to live each day the best we can and be thankful for what we had and have.

Old age isn't for wimps, wait until you have to sit for hours in a wheel chair waiting for some young kid, a 1/4 of your age to change your depends and put you in you bed. You think you got trouble now, think of an 80 year old in a nursing home sitting in front of a TV they can't even hear or see waiting for relatives to vist them. Walking to the bathroom is a work out, and standing up is an adventure. Birthdays are a curse.
Your problems don't seem so bad now, do they. Your dad is in my prayers, hope they caught it early and he fully recovers.

I'm sorry for all your troubles too.
A few years ago I was struck by exactly the same thought, about having it good when I was really young. So I started doing childish things. Now I go to the park and play on the swings, insist on pinatas and dress-up parties, climb trees at the botanical gardens, and last week I fingerpainted a monster out of tomato sauce to stick on my fridge.
Maybe this is going a bit far for you, but I get a few good giggles out of it! And I have a few friends who are a bit nuts, and they laugh at me too...
Being old is crappy. But if you can bring yourself to have a laugh in the in-between bits, it's a bit easier to get through the crappy bits. I suggest trying to stick beans up your friends' noses :-D
