Saturday Septemeber 24th, 2016 chip Jealous/Content

[bunnypie]

I have had some real strong jealous feeling for people who have hair, eyelashes, & eyebrows. I have been walking around for months looking like a bald headed monster of a freak. I have had to be content with wearing hats and keeping my face down so I don't scare people. I have really found out who will still talk to me and be compassionate about my situation. It is a small hand full of people. A former friend of mine had me listen to a song by Joe South called "Walk a mile in my shoes" There is a line in it that helps me to be content. "before you abuse, criticize, & accuse walk a mile in my shoes" I really hang onto the words of wisdom in that song and it takes away the jealous feelings and lets me be content and at peace with myself.

It is so true, we always compare ourselves to others. We don't miss something until it is gone. Like me not liking cookie and ice cream that much, it was take it or leave it. Since I can no longer eat it safely, I want it.

I saw a young girl's picture on FB. She didn't look at day over 17. It showed a before and after picture, her with hair and no hair as a result of chemo. She was wearing her baldness well. It didn't show or talk about the emotions behind it.

I almost left AA because of jealousy. I was single and a lot of the women thought feared that I wanted their man and felt threatened. I wouldn't have taken them in a lucky bag as my sister's Scottish friend said. I wasn't looking for a man, but ended up with a lot of male friends.

I saw that picture on Face Book and was very jealous! She at least had eyebrows and eye lashes and was wearing make up. I look like Kermit the Frog and the caption on the picture was something like "I will get no thumbs up/likes cause I look so bad" I made the comment that she looked a lot better then I do!!! Jealous can really hit me like a ton of bricks!!!----Baffled Bunnypie
