About Me
My name is Sue. I am a Roman Catholic, Proud Be Irish,, 41 year old woman. I definetely have the gift of gab. I am an author in the making, write poetry also. When I am healthier, I have a plan to go to school for reflexology. I also have an interest in becoming a Reiki Master. I also have interests in massage therapy and physical therapy. One step at a time, wins the race!
I have a very psychological mind from mostly being an observer and living outside the box. But now I am starting to break down the walls that have, held me at bay. I am the baby in the family, which has been my friend, as well as, my foe. It has taken a very long time to figure out what I want out of life, and grow up enough to face life head on.
You see I have suffered from depression for as far back as I can remember, and I just was diagnosed with Adult ADD and Obsessive/Compulsive Disorder, this year . No one before now, looked below the surface to recognize other mental disabilities, at play. I am not one who believes in labels. But I believe these labels are pieces of the puzzle that define parts of me. I do not acknowlegde the words: fat or morbidly obese. They are ugly labels that no one deserves.
There are many factors unknown when it comes to people overweight. Especially when they have been that way all there lives, like myself. Irregardless, the fact remains, excessive weight is always the effect, not the cause. This is a very mental disability, as much as, a physical one. I have just started a book about my life, for I know there will be people out there who can not only identify, but learn through the mistakes made throughout my life.
I believe I was meant to take this path, in order to help others cope and learn about overweight people. There is a true disease hidden underneath. My parents were judged not only by family, friends, but doctors and acquaintances, alike. I was judged and persecuted throughout my life. Ultimately, my whole family suffered. Movies like, "Whats Eating Gilbert Grape", justified people's ill treatment of this serious illness.
I don't believe it is fair, to label people of different: sizes, genders, races, creeds, languages, financial disposition, or health issues, for that matter! I have been persecuted my whole life and would not wish that a life for anyone. It has taken me to death's door many of times. It is one of the causes I have hid myself away and deteriorated physically, mentally, and spiritually, for the last 7 1/2 years. I thank God, I found Beliefnet, and Beyond Blue, when I did. I had thrown in the towel and experienced my last setback, September of last year.
I see this as the internet's melting pot! I am so glad I found it, for my faith must guide me through the hardest part of my life so far. And I truly need all the help I can get!
