I can relate. I know the stories are meant to be encouraging but for some reason they aren't. I am happy for them and I have moments of success in treatment that I can relate, moments; however with the on-going struggle that continually changes that never seems to have an end, I always appreciate it for them but it saddens me that there isn't an end to the struggle happening for me. I feel short-changed. Then I get down for feeling sorry for myself. Vicious cycle that I have to come out of, so I try not to read these stories anymore unless they include treatment and management tips.
