In section #5 I hopefully briefly wrote about my disability and how I have learned to accept it and how it may seem as if I am giving up but I have just learned to accept it as a part of reality instead of denying it or being depressed about it. I want to make the right decisions in my life it is just that more times then I would like to admit I am not referring to the small decisions or the ones that really do not matter I am referring to the most important ones. I have heard the expression that small things turn into big things fortunately for me that has not been my experience yet. I have to admit there is not a lot of support in this world there are always people who say they will support you no matter what but the true test is when the most challenging times of life occur see if they are there. I think the whole issue with support I think a lot people mean well and they love you they just do not know how to provide the proper support and the bigger problem the one who needs the support is not sure either. That is the main reason we have such a mental health crisis in this country but at least as a society we are acknowledging that there is a mental health world wide epidemic so hopefully that is a step in the correct direction just to acknowledge it. So these people are not bad people they are just not sure how to treat those who think or know they are having mental health issues the first step is eliminating the stigma around mental health which is starting. No one wants to ask for help because asking for help has either been they are weak or are just looking for attention. There are people who are searching for attention and want sympathy but I do not think that is the majority most have a lot of shame associated with asking for help. Or they feel selfish and are burdening those around them. I look at it has just checking in think of the human mind: as a car that needs a tune up or a check up. It is critical to realize the human mind and psyche is extremally fragile. I think we have seen the dire consequences it is unacceptable. So to prevent any more unnecessary tragedies there must be more check ins because the mental health situation has become a world -wide epidemic. I want to be happy I want to stay happy I am not sure what happiness entails but as: Dennis Prager wrote: in his book "Happiness Is A Serious Problem" we may not have a definition of happiness but we know what being unhappy means. I want to be happy for others around me but as I wrote previously I feel broken in a lot of ways. But I try to make the choice to not let that notion interfere with my trying to be "happy". I hope I continue to grow and mature.
