Most people my age are advancing in jobs, caring for their kids, or dating

@JohnnyNoir Thank you .... that is true Johnny.

@Jenny1234 Unfortunately My apartment doesn't allow them.

@exchrist I'm sad, b/c most my age, in fact almost every single person I know has kids, is married, dating, etc. and a good job. I have none, due to PTSD, and it makes me really Sad. Feel inept, and I feel less than others due to it. So I try to find humor wherever I can, like at least I have a few Mcdonalds points to cash in soon. I'm sorry to hear of your cancer... have you gotten any chemo ? I am so nervous b/c I have a lump in my stomach, that most likely is a lipoma (my sis had one in same spot) but, I'm not sure if it 'could' be cancer- I'm going soon to find out. Life can be really hard , I try to find a smidge of humor when possible. 😔

@Coralmist ah ok well i suggest jokes online find ways to laugh sorry about that lump stay on top of it. Im healing dont worry. Im over it but f'd for life. Im so destroyed by incompetetant doctors a job is out of the question. Enjoy the little things. I have offspring but am not married. Id like to be but with so many offspring i really shouldnt date anyone.
Also if you need advice for cure alls just ask.

@HumanEarth And with abuse , you try to figure out Where do I learn from this? Even though it truly should Not have occurred? I think just going forward with Peace that A. you made it through, somehow, and B. Would not ever put another being through that, is Warrior strength to me. 🦋

One way I cope is I support our local battered womens shelter. Because I lived though it first hand as child.

I seen what alcoholism does when they come home drunk

I seen what is sexual predator does to a child.

I seen horrors that no one should have seen at any age.

This is why @Handfull1 wants me to write a book

@HumanEarth Handfull1 has a good idea- I agree.

@wildbill83 Well at least they got SOME sex...jk I know. Thanks for that🍂

@candycane I recognize my strengths occasionally :P
