I tried to explain to my husband how scary it is that, if something happened to him, I could never take care of myself, our home, our child.
Secretly--not because I don't live or want to be with my husband, but because I feel like a slug--I also feel frustrated and depressed that I couldn't do all those things.
I feel ya' girls.

You are not your illness. You have an individual story to tell. A name, a history, a personality. Staying yourself is part of the battle.
