I decided that I would start a thread dedicated to all of our problems and issues that we face, or have faced in the past. I think it'll be a really good place to get it out. Plus, then you'll know where I'm coming from too, since I've made reference to some of mine. Hang on, this is a really, really big list.
My problems:
-I was born premature by 4 weeks, also when I was born, both of my hips were dislocated (not a very good start to life, huh)
-asthma since I was a toddler
-since age 10, dislocation of both knee caps
-emotionally abusive dad since around age 10 (he was bad before that, but I was probably a little young to notice). He's absolutely terrible - selfish, lying, cheating, cruel . . . he's in a somewhat high profile political profession too, ironic huh?
-high blood pressure since age 14
-Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, since elementary school, but fully diagnosed when I was 17
-dad using illegal drugs since I was in my early teens, though it could have been earlier
-extremely high heart rate, supposedly since birth, but not known until a few years ago
-I know it's not called this, but I can't think of the proper term, juvenille arthritis since early 20's
-family financial problems for as long as I can remember, we're technically middle class, perhaps slightly higher, but that is extrememly disceiving
-I am a real risk taker, and rebel, but in the best of ways, which can cause worry and trouble for others around me
-being a strong ambitious woman who is driven, living outside of a small sea of girls who drop out of high school, have babies, and marry the first guy they ever dated
-being a relentless dreamer, surrounded by practical, reality focused people
-add to all that the situations associated with having an invisible disability, and dad in high profile power job, and I have had a ton of stress
-no worries, why? because I'm gonna end up changing the world, making the world a better place, getting really rich and famous, and proving/having my revenge to all of those bad people that I have encountered in my life that I can do it! : )
So what about you all? Vent! Get it out! Go crazy! : )
