Yes, well... I isolated myself from "others" for several years. During that time T plodded along helping me realize that I can't live up to other's expectations. That's really good stuff for everyone, but required for those of us who are not fully able to...

As for the "acceptance" of it all? Well, no. I haven't in my mind accepted my disability. BUT I DO KNOW what decisions I MUST make, as an adult giving anyone else advice? I do what I have to, but it doesn't mean I like it. I want to get to where I don't hate it, where I'm not exasperated with it. That will be acceptance I think.

Thank you for this. I have MS and fibromyalgia so I hurt a lot. I get frustrated often because I can't do everything I used to, but am learning acceptance slowly. I'm not to this point (where you are) yet, but I'm working on it, LOL. How do you get your S.O. and friends to understand there are days when you really struggle, when you can't go to four or five stores, and that June Cleaver doesn't live in your house? Any input appreciated, also an info and adaptations for how to do things like cleaning, cooking, what have you.

Namaste,
