Well sometimes I do think people need to appreciate the little that they have no matter how little that is. Unfortunately its just too tempting to settle for thinking that people have it better than you and sometimes that may be the case! I think it’s silly to deny what is the obvious, that is, obviously we are not all dealt the same hand and to pretend we are doesn’t help the person who is struggling. I recommend acknowledging the difficulties in your life then trying to adapt to them, rather than deny them and work around them.

I hear you saying to yourself that I am one of those whingers written about in this blog. Well tell me what you’d do in life if you:

- couldn’t go in any sort of vehicle (plane, car or bus),
- the ground felt like it constantly shifted,
- your head felt like it was in a vice being crushed – 24/7,
- everything around you feels dream like,
- your friends, family and home all feel like unfamiliar surroundings, a case of jamis vu – which means to have never seen before,
- your arms and legs feel constantly disconnected from your main body
- you then FIND OUT after 11 years of suffering all this by the age of 22, you are diagnosed with a progressive dementia. You’ve lived an untreatable hell for 11 years and now to add salt to injury you have a dementing brain disorder.

You don’t get used to that. You try to adapt but its tough. However, you do the best you can.

Thanks for listening.

Hi Liara,
the only person we can really change is us... we can encourage, support, love and hold their hand... but they still have to make the decision and take the action.

They have to be ready.

Nice chatting.

The idea of leaving a comfort zone isn’t an issue for me. Yet, I’ve had a hard time with feelings of helplessness when people around me repeatedly complain or do nothing. Experience has taught me my best option is to provide alternative examples of behaviour. I’ve learned I can only change myself.

Hello GG.

I am sorry to traumatise you.
That was unfair.

I won't mention my undies ever again!

Hi Ange.
You’re doing what MANY people don’t; having a go!

Well done you little Ninja.
