Eggs Without Egg Crates
I am writing this because it is amazing how much we as a people have a tendency to forget about the most important of all things. Ourselves. We have a general tendency to help everyone else first and ourselves last. That is if you are a compassionate person by nature that is, which most people are. I am guilty as sin or guilty as charged as it is, I don't care how you put it, I am one of those caregiving people that wishes to do just that... Take care of everyone way before I will take care of myself and by the time I am in crisis I often am far beyond my means.
That is when someone has to take over and look at me in the face and let me know that I am going off the deep end and very quickly. Just as the subject line says, we are eggs without egg crates, going about our business day to day trying to make sense of life in general, of our condition, our medications and for God's sake our Psychiatrists. I have not found one yet that doesn't think that they are God and that they have all the right answers to every problem in the world.
Ok, to the latter, our Psychiatrists, if you are the supreme being that you say you are;
Can you cure Cancer?
Can you unconditionally help your fellow man?
Can you get through the day without passing judgement on another person?
Can you stop the killing of our fellow man?
Can you keep a family member from dying from a horrible condition
Can you stop starvation throughout the world?
Can you keep relationships from falling apart?
Can you help us find a successful vocation that pays us incredible amounts of money?
Can you make the price of gas go back down to $1.25 that I remember paying in High-School?
If you, as our Psychiatrists or as our Physicians cannot prevent even the simplest of things, then what makes you think that you are any better than anyone else? Just because you have a Diploma on the wall and spent 7-9 years in College doesn't mean that you have answers that are universal and all knowing.
One time I was inpatient in a facility and my regular P-Doc was out of town so she had a substitute P-Doc come in and see me. I spent no more than 5 minutes with this man. When I got out and checked my mail, I had a bill in there from him for $185.00... WTF is up with that?
I guess my point is this... There is only one person that I can think of that can make many of the before said things go away... It didn't require a diploma, They are always there to listen if we want them to, and they never require to be paid in cash.
I am a worldly person more than a spiritual person if you will, but no matter what happens, I still have the faith that I can survive my condition with the right medication and a bit of TLC. I have my quirks I will admit but so what? It makes me fun at parties ;-)
At least I am told that.
