The point is: Not everyone is you, and you are not everyone.
I have blurry vision and severe dry eye. My eyes don’t want to seem to work together anymore, and I get dizzy and nauseous pretty easily because my brain can’t handle this new vision. I can’t read a book nor stare at a computer like a did at my old job. At this point, I have to find a job where I don’t need “normal vision.” I consider this a handicap. Sure, there are things that are worse, but it’s a “disability” that I now have to deal with.
No we don’t. The way you said it was kinda assholish. Many people have said the same things you have said, but in a more constructive and positive way. Telling someone to “get a fucking life dude,” is not a call to action, it’s just rude.
I believe many of us have the chance to reach a point with this condition where we can learn to live with our issues. Many people do see varying degrees of improvement. The problem is: we are all hit differently and our bodies will all react differently. It takes a year or two for a lot of us to even break out of the shit cloud that has been thrust upon us.
I don’t know man, I just don’t think people want to read posts about how easy or “not that bad” PFS is. Are there things that are worse? Of course. But the fact that people have killed themselves (or are currently considering it) makes this extremely serious and very difficult to deal with for some people.
Anyway, good for you for pushing through finding a way to live with this shit and still strive to get better. Just try and remember some of us are fighting to just get past the first couple years here, and we don’t need to be told it’s “not that bad” or we “need to get a life.”
The word for the day is: TACT.
Sorry if I’m preaching guys. I just wish this site was more positive at times. I know it’s hard and we all get aggravated. I haven’t expressed myself well at times either. Tumbleweeds is right about getting some exercise and trying to get out there and live as much as possible.
