I hate myself for being so weak, but it just hurt to read and think about. I'm not watching it, that's for sure.


Try to remember that that abusive negative talk is the sickness- not really who we are. It hurts tremendously. Think about this- if someone you know, who appears strong, suddenly had to deal with this excruciatingly disorienting disease, could they hold on? I know many would not be as strong as we find ourselves. You are strong [emoji123]. Please remember, you are withstanding more than the other person has even imagined. You are stronger than you know. I am strong. We are strong together. [emoji173]
