30. I'm sorry to hear this. Your post caught my eye.

Jan 2020

I'm trying to live with several chronic illnesses at once, however, I won't say that I know how you feel, because I don't. However, I do understand how seriously overwhelming it can get with health problems and/or issues with your mind and body.

I try to use humor to get me through. I hope that you have a coping mechanism and a support system. I have the former, not so much on the latter.

What I will say to you here is...I wish for you the strength to manage your challenges. I wish for you to always find joy. I wish for you not to be hard on yourself. I wish for you to look upon yourself with pride. I wish for you to know that you do not need to be perfect in the eyes of others. I wish for you to feel accomplishment in dealing with your struggles.
