Alchemy, I have felt the same way. Like you, not belittling the pain and misery and tragedy that cancer can be. But I did once tell my therapist that if I had cancer rather than mental illness, at least people would sympathize more. I know it was a selfish wish. And now my beloved kitty, my baby, has cancer. I saw a bumper sticker on a car recently and it said 'F*ck Cancer'
Dammit I get so angry that people we love, out pets whom we love have to get cancer. And I get so angry that we all have to deal with debilitating mental illness.
I'm sick of it all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
KatIve got a really bad disease
Its got me begging on my hands and knees
So take me to emergency
Cause somethin seems to be missing
Somebody take the pain away
Its like an ulcer bleeding in my brain
