What Is Normal?

Pain Pills
1
I have been reading these post and am trying to understand something that my spouse said about feeling normal. What is normal? Is normal when you wake up happy everyday and there is no problems. Is normal having no pains from headaches, stomach pains or just plain old menstral cycle. What is normal? Is normal when you where a child and you had no pains and no worries? I would just like to get the difinition of normal. Who is normal? I think that society has painted a picture of what "norm" is and never gave the difintion. We all have different personality, some mean some nice, but which is normal? I would just like to know. Why can't we all just be who we are? Doesn't that sound normal?
Just talking and thinking our loud. Thanks for listening.

Normal I would say is different for everyone.What is normal for you may not be for me.If there was such a thing as a NORMAL pill I don't think any of us would be on here....mj

You know, now that I sit here and really try to think about it, I dont exactly know what "normal" is anymore?????? It's crazy, but I forgot - like MJ said - I believe everyone has a different "normal".

Love,

Normal.....not sure we will ever know and I don't think there is such a thing to base our lives on. I think we are who we are based on our lives and how we lived them........and how we deal with that life we have everyday!

I think when we feel content, thats what I would call normal.

interesting topic. I would love to know what normal people feel like when they get up every morning? I guess it's been so long since i got up and did what normal people do i forgot what it feels like. OK I"m not so sure you were asking about normal in the aspect of pain.....i'm just ranting.......cuz i'm curious what aches and pains "Normal" people endure and still function in society. I feel everything i do is an accomplishment, and ther's a limit on how many occur in a days time. I know I am not normal because I require considerations that most people don't.
anyhow if you want the definition of normal just watch tv.......tv molds society into what it is.........what's acceptable and normal is what's on tv......so it becomes.......and if you pay attention you will see that being a sex based society is normal for us.........is not every single advertisement and show you see chock full of sex sex sex sex sex.........and the kids are growing up watching this crap.......but that's now normal in this day and age........wonder what will be normal a few years from now.......i truly love kids but i am sooooooo grateful i have none............
i'll shut up now

ok i just reread you again and i have to say more. you are right....nobody is normal......we are all different .........so it kinda goes with what i was trying to get at in a roundabout way before i went off.......society has expectations of what normal is .........should be........within certain peramiters.......but it's got to be a broad definition or only one person would fit it............
or maybe it's in your own mind......you're normal and everyone else is weird....so that would make most people normal.....i say most because i sure won't claim it.......I know i'm ****ed up.......but then isn't everyone.....I have problems.....who doesn't ......maybe normal is just being part of the human race trying to get by from day to day.....isn't that what we all do......each in our unique way of course.........but that's normal isn't it???
ok now i really should shut up

You're asking a forum of pain pill addicts? Wrong audience. lol Just kidding.

I think normal is a relative term, but people ought to have the freedom to do whatever makes them at ease in their own skin.

LOL none...I was thinking the same thing...
Kinda like I used to be normal...sort of..
Now I am not..
The other part is how I read some really crazy stuff on here...and I CAN RELATE...Now that is scary...

its when you still ahve problems, and are not using. its when you still have pain and hard times, but are not using. its when no matter what happens you do not use. its the way you felt before you ever started using, it hurts but you stay strong and talk to another recovering addict, a person that identifies with your problem. its when you start to get control or understanding and acceptance of your life agian, this is what normal is for me and its an awesome thing
