Dear Manal,
I posted about my mental illness inorder to bring awareness to everyone that having Sickle cells and thal gene can and it affects every parts of ones' life if left untreated for so many years it can be detrimental in the later years of the sufferers lives.
I firmly believe that it all happen when my bloodcells is in reproductions and my organs e;g brain, ect, is not getting oxygen, take it into considerations that most of the time sufferers of this illness function on 50%of oxygen in thier blood in comparison to a normal healthy body without this illness ,
I also like to bring awarenes that we need to treat our children with lots of love and dignity so that in the later years of their lives they recognised and know thier selfworth and can cope with what life deal to them.
Yes I do believe I'm a strong person otherwise I wouldnt have survive untill now,
Nonethe less despite of my age I'm still learning about life and I hope in the process I can make a contribution to humanity by talking about my life experience and my struggles.
I know young children need the most attention and by no mean give them,I'm not here to outshine them I can never do that.
I found that in society in general people don't have time for people like me and others with mental illness,we are classified in little compartment and outcast in society, just because there has been taboos and the disregard of thier personal human value .
By now I dont expect or really need validation, I know who I am, but from time to time I feel, I have the need to be part of the human race that is because most of the time " I"M HERE"
I hope I am making myself understood thank-you for being there and maybe the next mental ill person you all meet will get a nod
I conclude this posting by wishing you all good fortune in life, make the most of every opportunity that arises because tomorrow is promise to no one,
I care
kathy
