How do you "Get out and act normal" if you're not sure what normal is???
"Maybe us babble folk are the "normal" people in society and those un-medicated so-called "normal" people are the abnormal ones!"- this has crossed my mind more than once or twice-lol
I question the normal thing all the time. Instead of normal I keep asking when will I feel better. When will I get to a place I like??? I guess when you like yourself some of these other questions go away. I like myself ok- but I can't stand my mental state. I can't stand crying, I'm tired of fixating on everything. I feel a little sick toda- "oh no, I'm dying and the dr hasn't figured it out yet" these things and more make me not feel better...
However try and remind yourself (i should use my own advice) there is no "normal" everybody's different so what seems so normal for one person may not be normal for the next...The drug addict on the street thinks living there is normal, the housewife thinks cooking and cleaning is normal (the executive woman may not agree) , ANYWAY we're all different. And i my dear, find u very NORMAL! :-)
Sorry I babbled so long but it's been one of those days...
