Sometimes I think I'm losing it...

like tonight. Out walking late because that's all I can think to do. About 1.30. 3 young men, obviously drunk, myself, and a young woman all cross paths at the same point. The three guys start harrassing the woman, make a grab for her. I stop to make sure nothing happens. The guys say something to me, the woman passes, and I walk away. A few steps away the guys start calling me an "American a$$hole." How they knew I was American beats me, I must just look it...they always know.
Anyway, I stopped and I was so ready to take all three of them. And I knew I could at least make a good go of it because I knew that whatever hurt the three of them could put on me it would be nothing compared to what is going on inside my head. In fact, at that moment I thought it might be better.
What in the world is this doing to me?

Vibes to ya clarence,
I know the feeling. I was in martial arts for a lot of years and have gotten the crap beat outta me many many times. Nothing compares to the beast. I just know that there is no one on this earth that can hurt me more than the beast has already....
Sometimes I wonder if I am getting calloused.
But I know how you feel...

Good thing you are not on prednisone, you might have killed them all and ate their bodies.

I would say the only benifit from CH is the ability to take high levels of pain and laugh about it. Bumps, bruises, and broken bones are no match for the Beast.

Hmmmmmm how about meeting a bunch of people that truly care and understand. The friendships I've made here are life-long, I'm sure. Don't forget that benifit.

That, for me is the only really good thing about CH. I don't think I would be here today without the support of my CH family.

I agree. Though I haven't been here long, I appreciate the support and the understanding. Thanks for letting me vent a little.
Although, the side effect of the prednisone mentioned by Thomas is interesting.

I totally agree. I haven't been here long (just started this cycle) yet I can still feel the warmth and compassion of everyone here. You guys/gals are the best.

Am I the only one that fell out of his chair reading the aboves? It's too true.
To Clarence: This raises up the old Kitty Genovese debate, when she was slain by a madman named Mosley back in the 60s. Several people heard and/or saw the murder without lifting a finger. The whole story brought into focus who and what we had become, and perhaps ultimately raised our conscience a degree or two. Still I believe it could happen again, except for people like you. I don't think the headache gave you the impetus to interupt what may have become yet another statistic. I think you are probably just a decent human being. Kudos and Hi 5 Clarence.
