A battle you know nothing about yet your not alone

I read something interesting on someone xanga last night. The person was saying how she was alone with her problem and that no one understood and that she was alone in the world. This it the point I want to get across. You at not alone. I wrote this last night.

 

So many people think they are alone in their pain and that there’s not a soul out there who understands so this is my message to you you’re not alone. Behind every happy person is a painful memory or some kind of struggle. Behind every person is some kind of hurt. Some of us have been abused, some of us cut, some of us have eating disorders, some of us are depressed and so on. There are people out there you have never met who share the same feelings, fears, dreams, thoughts, and problems. Everyone is fighting a battle that no one else knows any thing about. Perhaps this makes us all connected in some way. After all we’re only human.  

 

My next point. Everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about so be careful what you say. Really. I was taking to my friend the other day she was upset because in class people were talking about rape so lightly. As if it was no big deal. They were talking about how Bill Nie the Science Guy raped someone (he really didn’t the teacher looked it up and he didn’t). This is how rumors get started. Any way she was upset how they were talking about it so lightly. Need I say she was raped a few years ago?

I took an online psychology class. The professor had us watch Supersize me then we had a discussion and had to write about it and our thoughts on it and our thought on the obese.  Was of the comments from a student was “people need to stop living to eat and start eating to live” another was how it was the persons fault for being overweight. The rude comments went on and on. Need I say the professor use to weigh 300 some pounds (she’s lost a lot and weighs 130 or so now) She got a bit upset by some of the comments.

Next my friend we will call her L. She has been abused all her life and her parents are terrible. She has a lot of problems because of what she has been though and is seeing a psychologist, is on meds, and is going into foster care. People think she’s weird. They keep making fun of her and saying really mean things about her. Very few will actually talk to her. Two of my friends have even come up to me and said “why are you hanging around her she’s weird!” I’m getting sick of it. They have no idea the hell that she has been though. So be careful what you say everyone is fighting a battle you know nothing about.

 

The site I’m trying to make my point with that no one is alone. http://hearmehealme.proboards107.com/index.cgi

I responded to your questions on my site. Yes, that post was protected. I know, it may not seem that protection worthy, but I'm just trying to save people from boring, uninteresting posts that I'm doing specifically for me.

Most people are overweight because of American food, and food is something that is intertwined with culture. The typical American diet is full of processed crap, refined sugars (often consumed in liquids), and too much meat and dairy products for an animal that has at least 15 things in common with herbivores. Hardly anybody gets the message across to cut down on meat consumption to lose weight. A lot of the focus is still directed towards fat when protein may actually be the culprit. Some people are not genetically prepared to deal with the typical American diet without being above average weight.

On the other hand, there are some people who are compulsive overeaters or binge eaters, and they're overweight because of that. I'd say that most overweight people are not eating too much. They eat like everybody else, but they just don't have genetically produced mechanisms for dealing with it.

i was very moved by your post. its entirely true as well. i always say "think before you speak" and sometimes even i fail to do that. and im a very outspoken person and i've learned over the years that you cant just say something and be rude about it because others take it to heart as an offense. and i deff. see your point you are trying to make.

thank you for posting this,sometimes i need a little reminder every now and again to be careful.

Hey, I saw you ran across my site.
Your entry is very inspiring, if that's the right word to use.

& to the post below - I'm wanting to major in Psychology in college, but the voting of whether Homosexuality is a mental illness really disturbed me.

I have had negative feedback for the way that I cope with things. But that wasn't why that I was protected exactly. I had established a small circle of friends on xanga that I wanted to be the only ones that just knew. But, I know that I'm not the only one going through these things. And, that maybe me trying to get better would 'inspire' someone else to get better in a way.

It's a way of hope.
