re: My Body Has Defeated Me. It's Over.

Interesting take...I would suggest the exact opposite, that he IS the one in control and no one (divine or living) is going to swoop in and change his life for him. He needs to get aggressive and proactive or nothing will change.

Suggesting that we have no control over our ultimate fate would confirm that God intentionally kills babies with cancer.

In many ways you are probably both right. This whole flying thing and the other medical issues has made me very angry at God. Almost as a "what did I do to deserve this" type of pity party. It's definitely hurt my relationship with God, to the point where I've told to myself that "God can go f*ck himself".

I don't doubt for a second that I need to repair my relationship with God and understand that he's always with me if I allow him into my life. And that yes I need to understand that I only have so much control in life, the rest is up to him.

But I also agree with you that though God is always with us, he gives us a brain so that we control over our lives. My brain is obviously have major issues right now but that if I take control I can resume the life that I want to live. God only said he would be with us during the journey, he never said he would make the journey easy for us.

So I think it can both. You can put your faith in God while still understanding that you need to control your life. In many ways I need to do both.

You must have tons of money..... Plus you are making ZERO sense....

No I just travel on the cheap. Plus that's why I've been so devastated. I want to be able to travel to a lot of these overseas and exotic places when I do get the money. I will say I have saved over $6,000 for my next overseas trip and yet I don't know if I will ever be able to do it.

I've mostly traveled domestically, to Canada and to the Caribbean. I've been to Europe twice. That's why it hurts me so much, there's so much more traveling I want to be able to do.

As many have said, you have to make the best with what you are faced with and need to try to put your situation in perspective. Each of us have circumstances or issues that don't allow us do to 100% what we want, when we want, how we want. There are countless reasons like health, money, fear, etc. that cause these things. At the same time, be aware of what you have and don't take what you have for granted, because there are lists of people who are starved for what you may be overlooking.

Can you fly carefree, no based on what you said, but can you fly some? Seems like the answer is yes, so take advantage of what you have, and maybe if you are worried about your previous experience, the anxiety will diminish over time.

My simple answer about your health is not everyone is a square peg that can fit into a round hole, so maybe you need to explore some options that will help, but find a way to get rid of the negative thoughts that nothing will help, because you will be right.

Much easier for some to decide to get up in the morning and say, I'm going to kick this day's arse than it is for others, but you need to find a way to get your attitude closer to that mentality than it is today.

I want you to sit back and pay attention to how ridiculous this sounds. You ready??

“I don’t want to live anymore because I have asthma.”

A friend of mine was just diagnosed with ALS.
Owlfan86 had a stroke and his dick may never work again.
Lebron James is hunted by police/white people everyday.

Your problems are minor compared to most.

Your first step should be to get a damn job. You’d have less time to feel sorry for yourself. Can’t travel when you’re broke anyway.

Find a woman. She will be there to remind you daily of how much worse she has it than you.

You know, some people take cruises that don't go anywhere. They just enjoy fricking cruising. Maybe try that.

To me traveling is more about the cultural experiences than just getting blanked out drunk on some party boat. I don't mind cruising but it's not my favorite type of vacation by any means. And honestly a lot of them are trashy.

And I've never been one who could do one vacation a year. I like taking vacations every 3 - 4 months.

I never said big trips. Sometimes they would only be 2 night weekend trips. But I don't like going a long time without going anywhere.

No doubt, that all sucks. The simple, proven answer is consistent, heartfelt prayer...followed by understanding the importance of proper nutrition & daily exercise. Be strong & make it happen. Cliche’ but true. Then, consider maybe your life isn’t all about you but you helping others...best feeling in the world.

Sir, listen up.

Sounds to me like you simply haven't found your happiness yet. If you are patient you will.

Sounds to me like an eating lifestyle change could go a long way to helping you eliminate or control some of the problems you face with hemorrhoids and heart burn. Seriously consider a nutritionist, but in general just stop eating like shite. (that is, if you do. like no fast food, or "white" food in general like rice, noodles, and fried potatoes).

Not everyone's purpose is presented to them quickly or easily, sometimes you have to be patient. Live healthy, enjoy the outside air, find things you do enjoy doing and do them.
maybe charity, or volunteer at a boys and girls club

the only option to NOT consider, is giving up.
