I agree with @hopeful33250, an excellent point. I’ll take a stab at it but remember I’m abnormally normal. By the way, I don’t like that word either.
Always be yourself David, you are perfectly normal my friend and never think your not and NEVER let anyone tell you otherwise.
Don’t try and fit into someone else’s idea of what they perceive normal to be. My belief is there’s only a perceived normal. You don’t want to lose your individuality. Who’s to say what normal is anyway. Personally I think the so called “Normal” is highly over rated. I’m definitely not normal. I refere to myself as uniquely abnormal and I’m fine with. Not so sure a psychiatrist would be okay with it though but I don’t care. Who wants to be just like everyone else? Create your own normal.
Your doing a fantastic time job coping with what life threw at you. We who have Epilepsy have a different normal anyway. My normal was to have seizures everyday. Now my normal is not to have them. Last one was 6 years ago, YEAH!!!!!
I’d be curious what your counselor has to say about that.
Wishing you all the best,
Jake
