You all rock! I appreciate your comments SO much.
It’s stage 3, and gone to the lymph. Treatment is harsh, but working. I lost my Pop and stepdad already. To cancer and copd.
I’m hanging in there. Again, thanks everyone! These words were exactly what I needed/wanted.

My daughter had breast cancer, caught in stage one. She has over 5 years now.

ElizabethI comments on Feb 24, 2018:
Yes. I am almost entirely a determinist, to the point of believing that will is certainly not always free, but some portion of will may straddle the line between free and caused. Of course quantum physics may prove me wrong, at least in a "small" way, lol.

Does psychotherapy really help?
chicagojcb comments on Feb 23, 2018:
I think it can. It depends a lot on the situation, and the therapist. It has helped me tremendously. But I know better than to suggest that my personal experience proves my point. :)
Freedompath replies on Feb 24, 2018:
@MST3K it takes a lot of guts to tell somebody, who is the professional that you simply can't work with them... especially, when you are comprised emotionally! I may have started out with excellent therapist and had something to compare others to. That was 30-40 years ago.

Do you think hating someone is unnecessary?

When one hates another, they allow that other to maintain residency, rent free, inside one's brain.
Freedompath replies on Feb 22, 2018:
@AMGT I believe what you are saying and how it feels. I do have a similar experience, my dad was killed by someone, when I was a young mother. I do not know what it is like to loose a child, especially in the manner that you state. So my heart goes out to you. From my experience, healing from this kind of death, takes time. One must proceed a little at a time, until the shock will allow you some space in between the pain. That is all that any person can do! What I meant about identifing what we really feel...is when we give it a name and then can claim that feeling, it gives us a specific focus. In my situation...I became the pain and overtime as I felt the pain more and more. It took me over. When, I could see that it was what I was feeling and not who I was...I developed better coping skills. I was a person in pain...not a person made of pain. I hope that this cleared up what I was suggesting.

@AMGT gosh! That can be brought under control! You must name the 'real' feeling and you must own it... and then take some action...this is all deliberate! Not a lashing out! Even letting another person know that you feel wronged...is taking action.

Billy Graham's Legacy Is Conflating White Christianity And Patriotism | HuffPost
gearl comments on Feb 22, 2018:
I've always viewed Graham as one of those preachers that pretty much founded the mess we have now with Christianity becoming more and more divorced from morality.
Freedompath replies on Feb 22, 2018:
@mordant that is funny about being 'wrong' or 'off'...I can remember his sermons on the TV, as something I should be hearing...but, for some odd reason, I was not drawn into his web...all that coming 'down front,' pleading stuff! And I never thought of him as my preacher, even when I was in the Evangelical religion.

Sir, you may not be spending the time that I am...finding out what is going on, but you can easily go to the news clips and find out for yourself. For some odd reason, you have an enormous reason to dispute me, without first checking out stuff...that is all over 'real news!' It seems to me that you are selective gathering of information.

Freedompath replies on Feb 22, 2018:
@Taijiguy why are you asking the impossible? The people who took that shooter in after the death of his mother, saw nothing in his behavior to know that he was about to snap! If professionals have difficulty identifying the student that will snap, how can you expect teachers to educate for that? That is a whole different field of study and more years of learning. And, another most important fact is this shooting situation is usually a male most often between the ages of 14 and 25 and that is a critical time of development in their brain. If they get depressed or other mental illness comes into play...they want process reality properly! Here is the danger. I am not holding my knowledge up to anyone's ideas, but I still want to encourage you to learn some more about the brain and emotions! It might even help you as you age. You might slow down senility or Alzheimer lurking in your future! Surely, you could 'Google' up some of the 'Ted Talks,' on emotions or the brain or both! Human being are not robots...they are completely unperdictable...you yourself said that you 'couldn't explain half the shit that you do,'...well multiply that by thousands of other people and you will see that many people are unperdictable and could be far worse than you! (Some better maybe.) But, we can struggle to learn how our mind works and it pays big dividends. It is all about the brain. But, it would be to your benifit to learn all that you can, not just because we are discussing gun control, a healthy brain will determine how well you age! And, it is never to late! I am still working to keep (brain) myself emotionally/mentally healthy! We need more mental health treatment in this country, too.

@Taijiguy I keep my older vehicles and I understand about repairing autos. I have been on my own since '89. without a man's help because even my son's don't live close and have much stress of their own. Sir, it is true that things must be repaired ...but an auto is perdictable! Everything in it runs a certain way and every part can be replaced! The human body is not like that! Not even a genius can predict how everything is working in a human body. There are way too many unknowns! And they effect our behavior! There is even the unseen DNA, that plays into the human body. Please Google Sopolsky, and see what he has learned. He has been on Ted Talks, too! He is one expect in the field. Don't take my word for it, do your own research! I spent 100s of dollars on college courses from The Great Courses! There are others, that are studing the brain and you can find them under brain study. The human being has so many variations in his make-up and with different conditioning...you could never treat him like a car engine! Learning to function within the limits of our individual makeup is the best we can expect and each person will need to fix that for himself! Even with medication, there is still work to do if you want to be the best that you can be! This is not something that is taught in this society, either. Because, I wanted to survive...I developed a super sensitivity to people's behavior! So I have been studing every person that crossed my path. I don't even know another person who has done that...except maybe some of my therapist in the past and friends who were social workers. My belief is based on all this information that I have acquired thru study and observations! And believe me when I say...a great deal of my experience came at a great cost to me! All I can say is... you are free to keep your position, but on the other hand my bet is...if you were exposed to just a quarter of what I have been exposed to... your position would change your mind in a heartbeat! Knowledge is power.

To ban or not to ban...if you studied the brain as much as I have and exposed yourself to as much mental illness as I have...i bet even your opinion would change. At first I needed to save myself and then the 'study' took on a 'mind of it's own!' If you saw it...they diesected the brain of the Las Vagus shooter and found it did have abnormal plac buildup, that could have contributed to his behavior. But, there is no way to examine everyone's brains to see what kind of damaged or chemical imbalance may be found there without brain scan. All this effects the emotional development of all of us! They report that brain damage could occur in the womb and anytime in life! They even know now, from what area of our brain, certain behaviors originate from. But, people are still unperdictable! Even a perfectly balanced person can 'loose it!' Most people have not spent as much time, learning how their emotions
operates as I have. I am in touch with my anger and emotional makeup and I feel pretty certain...I could never harm another living thing, out of my anger. Most people are afraid of their own anger...which is a fair indicator that they will keep it under check, untill that anger is triggered...and if they have not learned what to do with ligimate anger...bad things can happen. Emotions are a natural part of our nature and they are there to assist us, as humans! But, they must be developed and in a healthy state...otherwise bad things can happen! This is not a culture that has spent much time learning how to use their emotions. Even though science is making new discoveries with brains. These are facts...not my opinion.

Absolutely, if something is crude or of a sexual nature directed at and individual. If directed at the gender as a whole it's just misogynistic. I've seen some pretty archaic and sexist comments on posts in my short time on this site. In general I chalk it up to there always being a few nuts ...

I surely can see your private data base idea. That would be a start. Let me give you my experience with guns, and way before the country fell in love with them. When I was a child, my uncle shot and killed his wife through a window of their house. The father went to prison, the 5 children went ...

@Taijiguy I STAND WITH THE YOUNG PEOPLE OF FLORIDA. What we have in this country is people who have under developed empathy feelings, but they have over developed their FEELINGS about their right to own guns! These people want care at all about people that are killed...as long as it is someone's loved one on the other side of the country! My story is only one in a million and what I hope to point out, was how KILLING effects the lives of many people...NOT JUST THE DEAD PERSON! Lip service comes cheap and has no teeth! I have no idea if you are heartless, but I guarantee you one thing, I can judge by your actions...that your caring want be based on carefully crafted deflecting words and artificial tears! What are you willing to sacrifice for the safety of your fellow citizens AND INNOCENT CHILDREN ...from your post thus far...nothing!

They are behaving like this in other places. And, surely, you must know that people living in a new culture will be edgy...because they are having to learn how to live, in a completely different way. That is called 'culture shock!' When I moved to San Francisco in the 80s, my friend there warned me about it! It was completely different to what I had ever experienced. That knowledge really helped me to adapt, because it caused me new anxieties!

@jayneonacobb I want to be very serious here...up until we broached this gun issue I found you to have common sense and you seemed like a reasonable person, but I can only hope that you are protecting your profession somehow and are just fearful of loosing it! Because, you have run off the rails with your gun defense! IT IS NOT coming from a place of reason...that is all I know...the GUN, is YOU...YOU are the GUN? And, I suspect that you would defend your gun...until death! Hopefully, I am wrong here, but you have revealed yourself pretty clearly! You know...it's that word thing!!
