My Worst Problem

Improved Essays
Since I know myself, I have been drowning in self-pity and stupidity, hoping that my pain will someday come rescue me. But the problem was, there was no pain. I thought I had the worst problem in the world, but when I recognized that what I was going through was nothing compared to what others are through, I realized that my own problem was nothing close to the worst. Since then my attitude towards the subject has changed.
The notion “worst problem” is a myth, it does not exist. Anything worthy to be called a problem, is any sickness or disability you cannot control, affect the people around you, and cost life. Nonetheless, no one problem is the worst since they all lead to death. So there is no point in calling one the worst. In the world I live in, there is no such things as the worst problem because there is somebody sitting next to you going through a difficulty you cannot handle. However, if you still think you have or know the worst problem, you must be living in a selfish world of your own.

I hardly speak for myself, I can get any issue resolved through phone, or speak my mind and ask questions. Sometime I wished I could not talk at all or I was invisible. People close to me say am doing this to myself, but they will never know how it feels unless they step in my shoes. Every day I her myself whining about how it’s all so unfair, ask dumb question like, why me? Which I never got a reply from anyone. But the obvious answer to the question will be, who else? Do I want this to be happening to my sisters, my brothers, or my friends? NO. Only a selfish human will wish some difficulties they are going through to anybody. I am thank that my own problem is nothing compared to what others are going through, because I cannot handle anything worse than

    Kate and I resonated with the pitfalls of traditional treatment presented in Many Roads, One Journey by Charlotte Davis Kasl regarding the journey of addiction. Kasl states, about one of her clients, “And when [the program] didn't work, she assumed she had not done it right. Her passivity - the core of her depression - was being reinforced in her twelve-step program,” (Kasl, 1992, p 148). In our dyad meetings, Kate and I discussed the rigidity of traditional twelve step programs, and the tradeoff many people trying to stop addictive behavior make to stay ‘sober’. During our first class, we were instructed that there are no cookie-cutter treatments.…

    I personally have a little bit of a problem with society. Since I am deaf, it is hard to communicate with people in loud places. I do not want to ask people to repeat themselves all the time so I struggle sometimes. An example A Raisin in The Sun is when Mr. Linder comes to the Youngers’ house, and basically tells them that people do not want them to live in their neighborhood because of their race.…

    Before listening to the stories of “Recovered” People who Stutter (PWS), I thought I had a basic understanding of what stuttering was, the feelings that pertained to stuttering, and the treatment techniques that Speech-Language Pathologists used in therapy. The following speakers, I chose to listen to, were panelists at ASHA Conventions through the years 1996-2011: Kristin Chemela, Barry Guitar, Lawerence Molt, William Murphy, Lois Nelson, and David Shapiro. Listening to these panelists greatly changed my outlook on stuttering, specifically in the areas of recovery, understanding experiences of PWS, and paths toward recovering from stuttering.…

    Bad times are inevitable in everybody’s lives, but some question: what good can come from the bad? First published on April 7, 2014, the article “What Suffering Does,” by New York Times columnist and PBS News Hour commentator, David Brooks, digs into this idea through claims that suffering plays a major role in people’s lives because it helps them grow as people (Behrens). Brooks states that happiness is just one piece of “the human drama” and suffering is the other (Behrens). Brooks’ topic of discussion is relevant in everyone’s lives because it is a topic everyone experiences first-hand, and he logically argues through examples that support his claims throughout the article. Brooks’ biggest points are that suffering provides opportunities to get an outsider’s point of view, better understand what others are experiencing, and help people learn more about themselves (567).…

    “Another secret of the universe: Sometimes pain was like a storm that came out of nowhere. The clearest summer could end in a downpour. Could end in lightning and thunder.” Pain is always just like that, it comes without warning and leaves in the blink of an eye. Throughout the book Aristotle And Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz, the main characters go through both physical and emotional pain.…

    “Never make a mountain out of a mole hill,” I grew up not understanding what that meant, but now I know. It essentially means that you shouldn’t play with your fate, you never know what could happen or what you could see. I grew up believing depression would never get to me that I would be unaffected by it, but now I know that this is not the case. I used to be told by my father that depressed people were ‘freaks’ or ‘crying out for attention’, but there are many people who suffer in silence, who don’t let people know how they truly feel-me included. I’ve seen some traumatic things, things that have scarred me for life, I’m going to tell you some of those things right now.…

    The Comfort of Ignorance Much of my life has been filled with blissful ignorance about the world. Growing up, I was consumed by the little problems of my life and never thought twice about the hardships of others. However, as a self-absorbed fourteen year-old, I found that although ignorance is comfortable, it blocks the true reality of what the world is. It was a crisp, clear, and unusually warm winter day when I had to shadow my mom in the ER.…
