I'm Doing Better Now

I'm Better Now.

I remember in 2005-6 I was put in the Psych. Ward and strapped down to a concrete block in a room where the walls, floor and ceiling were all rubber so I couldn't hurt myself. All this was because I was grieving so hard at the rejection by my family. I'd worked so hard to be the man they said I was, raising the children and sticking by a crazy and abusive alcoholic woman for 38 years until I finally broke down and couldn't make sense of anything any more. The psychologists said that I was a woman inside.

I've got this under Fiction but it's not at all. This is real. I just wanted it saved in my stories.

They don't let you talk about ending it, so I won't.

18 years later the fuckers still think I'm crazy.

We are all slightly crazy

We have to be because the world around us is crazy.

There is an old (1960's) film called, It's a mad, mad, mad, mad world. (there might be a different number of 'mad's.)
It is well worth watching. It may cheer you up.
Hang on in there. As I said, you are not alone. There are crazies everywhere.

We are all a little crazy.

So please accept it, and be the person you really are inside.
Let the rest of the world disagree if they want.
Just be yourself, and be happy.
I hope you decide, without to much conflict. For a crazy person ,
you have written some great stories. So stay with us other crazies for a lot longer.
sending you all the good wishes I can this festive season.

Make your own kind of Music. Sing you own special song. Make your own kind of music, even if nobody else sings along . . .
Life is no cake walk and sadly other people can really stick the knife in but all you can do is be the best version of you you can and be true to who you are. If friends and family can't accept you, then they are not your friends and family. Go surround yourself with good people who accept you and love you for who you are. Life is too short to be beaten down and definately not something you should make any shorter than it already is !! May 2024 be a great year for you Gwen and may your light sparkle throughout so everyone can see it !
Hugs&Kudos!
