Do you feel like a victim of it ? No.
Do you compare it to other physical illness? No. It's not. It's too complex for some silly "justlikediabetus" comparasions
Do you accept it ? Sure.
Do you fight it ? I try to. But it's more like cold war style... so i fight sneakily and by proxy. It's part of me, so no way I can "kill" it without killing myself in body and spirit.
