I am constantly comparing my life/situation to other people who have hard times.
Would it be worse, I wonder if I was in prison for 20 years - but at least there's an end to that.
Would it be worse to be an alcoholic?
Would it be worse to be a refugee away from all my family?
Would it be worse to be in constant physical pain?
Would it be worse to have slightly less distress but with no better moments?
Then I have the,
At least I'm not a moonbear in a tiny cage having my bile extracted regularly for 20 odd years.
At least I had some good years.
At least I live in a time when mental illness doesn't have the same stigma (though it's still there).
At least I'm not Blanche Monnier - a French woman locked in the attic for 25 years by her mother
etc etc
Does anyone else do this?
