Very sad deal. One I will never understand.
that's an EASY one duck.....one that few (somehow) get
We humans aren't all born with perfect brains....that all function the same
MOST?...wake up feeling good everyday / healthy > ready to go with a positive outlook
* these people can't understand why EVERYBODY is not this way.....and often point fingers at the rest
OTHERS?...at varying degrees...dread waking up everyday / struggle to make thru EACH day without killing themselves / or somebody else....is it because they are simply BAD people / inferior to the above?.....nope
* whether it would be structural abnormalities (CNS) and / or chemical imbalances..........LIFE IS TOUGH.....< made MUCH tougher by a lack of understanding by others....friends / family
* often...serious health issues result as well....like BIG TIME migraine headaches
SO......you hold on for as long as you can...then that's it......
The answer to your question?..................
*57 years for me......my LIMBIC SYSTEM simply don't work....never has
Essentially.....I have had CTE (pretty much)...since I was 13....along with a myriad of health issues for good measure
* funny....for some reason (just to confuse me perhaps) I could also throw a football 65 yards at 13....AND av. over 40 yards/punt.......
< so I got more chicks than I would otherwise.......
*BUT..... like Tyler perhaps....this puts much more pressure on you too....nobody thinks you're sick.....you're expected to be PERFECT....
Even physicians...have a very poor understanding of these type of issues.....which are often not detected until autopsy < kinda too late ain't it?.......MEANWHILE you bounce around ...doctor to doctor / taking a ton of medications / supplements .........
* " if anything was wrong with you ...doctors would have found it !!!"....is a common sentiment
SO...the next time you see a homeless guy...instead of looking at him with disgust.....give the poor basterd a sandwich maybe or a couple of bucks....dam good chance he's got something seriously wrong with him.....but with little support (friends / family).....
Humble when ambitious - gracious when successful - resilient when you fail.
