Something I've Been Thinking About Lately. (Health)

No, I'm not planning to check out anytime soon.

In spite of the many seizures I've had in 2018, and how genuinely lousy I've been feeling for much of this year.

There are times I've also been feeling.. very lonely.

Not for one specific woman, because I don't like anyone specific at this time, but just in general.

I'm never one to .. boast about myself. I've never been that way, even in my best days.

Most important, I try to be a decent human being. (Even my Dad, who is often so critical of me, says to me. "Mitch, you're a good person"). He would not say that if did not think it true. When I act like a fuck, he tells me.

I'm fairly intelligent.

I'm decent looking. Again I'm not one to boast.

Jobs and careers, can be searched for, and gotten. Whether I finally end up being a salaried insurance career, medical biller,, which is similar to insurance or something else.

Yet..

I have this terrible condition that as everyone knows, has resurfaced in a major way the last few months.

If I had a decent job, was more social , and was out there in the world more often, than the basic hermit that I am.

I meet a really kind woman, and we hit it off , with interests, most important vanilla ones etc etc.,

How do I explain about this terrible condition I have. (Epilepsy of course). One that I've been told can kill me at any time. Or.. what happens, if I have/had a seizure in front of said woman.

Would such cause any woman to turn off me.. more than any request of me asking her to tickle her, play with her feet, or stand barefoot on a ladder.

As those who have seen my posts are aware, I've been very close to dying on at least two occasions from this condition. The time in the summer of 2011 when my mom was undergoing her cancer treatment, and the time in 2015, when I was hospitalized for four days, basically unconscious.

I'm sure that there are people with Epilepsy who have partners. I've had friends who were /are diabetic, who have wives, and partners.

Its just something I've been thinking about, which has not really crossed my mind before, maybe due to the multitude of seizures I've had in 2018, and how sick I've felt the last six months.

Sorry to hear about that, hon. 🙁 I know it's not easy and that it hurts because it was coming from your uncle, but try not to let his ignorance bother you. I hope when he learns that you're a lesbian, he'll change his way of thinking but I don't know with the way he went off like that. :twohugs:

I'm sorry, twinny. 🙁 Hopefully your grandmother is tactful enough not to spread the news around, but if it does come out and someone in your family gets upset about it, then I say fuck 'em.

I understand it must hurt like hell to hear someone in your FAMILY say things like that, but even if he's done nice things for you in the past, your uncle quite frankly sounds like a narrowminded fool, lacking the ability to think for himself. And if it turns out he can't think of you the same way when/if he finds out, then he is just a false and pathetic little man that you don't need to bother with. Your mom is probably right, but hopefully he can swallow his pride and, dare I say, try to learn a thing or two about tolerance.

Just remember he's the one who's wrong. Don't let all the bullshit get to you! :bubbleheart:

Hey Amanda. After first coming out over nine years ago, and then subsequently having to come out in every new situation, I've been where you are. At first, I was really concerned about who knew, and what they thought about it. Eventually, I came to realize that I was going to be the person I am regardless of others. And two coexisting truths emerged:

1. It is not my job to make others "accept" me. If something I fundamentally am makes others uncomfortable, it's on them to figure it out or lose me in their life. I used to spend so much energy wondering who knew, and what they thought. It was a normal part of the coming out process, and it was exhausting.

2. Knowing someone who is queer is the best way to eliminate homophobia. While not everyone comes around, many do with time. But know that you coming out is changing the world in a small way.

Finally, your uncle is an asshole. Sounds like he's going to find out you're queer pretty quickly. If this new information doesn't make him feel even slightly bad, he isn't worth your energy. It's up to him to make this better.

Feel free to PM. Again, I've been there. Hang in there.

Your uncle really sounds like he um, needs to grow up a bit. Hopefully when he finds out that you're a lesbian, maybe that will teach him a bit of tolerance. If it doesn't, then just know that it's not your job to change yourself for anyone. It sounds like you have the love and support of both your mom and now your grandmother and I'm sure once the word gets out, you'll find more folks on your side. Sorry you had to go through that though. I happen to think you rock! :twohugs:

I couldn't agree more. Sarah said everything I was going to say, and that's coming from someone who has been in your shoes and is one of the best human beings I know. You challenged him in his home about his (misguided as they may be) beliefs, so there is no need to allow him to break you down. You feel the "need" to defend yourself, and if you are strong enough to take the harsh words, power to you, but you don't seem to be quite yet. You don't ever have to prove anything to anyone. It's not your job or your responsibility. The 8 books you got for Christmas on the opinions of everyone else on the subject really don't matter in the end either, as much as your own does. Stand by who you are, and that will be enough for people who love you. <3

Nikki - your sympathies are very much appreciated :twohugs:

twinny - well, it appears to have died down now...my uncle told my grandma that he wouldn't have said those things if he knew I was gay and that it doesn't change his love for me. O__O I'm so confused.
Luv you :redheart:

Sarah, thank you very much for such kind words and advice. You're absolutely right...I really shouldn't care what others think of me. They can either take it or leave it, right? =/ And I still feel a great deal luckier than most LGBT people who actually get rejected by their own parents. And with my grandma being so accepting of it, I guess this has shown me that it's not the end of the world if the people I'm close to know who I really am. Thanks so much, sweetie. :redheart:

Angel, you're an honorary heterosexual lesbian. <3 ILY 8D

Hey, Jaybird. 😀 Well, since I'm new to the whole lesbian label, I'm still very weak in my identity. I'm hoping it'll get better over the years. That's what my aunt told me when I told her, anyway. I'm just mad at myself for outing myself with my tears. I heard that after I left, everyone started suspecting the real reason why I got upset. >.> But, I only got one book about the evangelical view on homosexuality, Jay. XD And it basically explains how misguided Biblical literalism is and the science behind sexual identity. =) Thanks for the words of encouragement. <3 Wuvvle you. ^^V
