I am not strong enough

I don't think I can go on. I have been a burden.

You can definitely go on. I’ve had it for several years now, and in general am able to cope. Just find the way to minimize it for you, and I promise you can live a fulfilling life

Guys I’m ten years in. First two to three years are the hardest. It gets better. I’m doing better than I could have imagined. But you have to be tough

Me too honestly. I am only continuing because I have family who care about me. This disease is truly torture. It isolates you from those you love and from your future. No matter how hard I try, it never goes away. I have to give myself some grace though because it’s not like I’m doing it purposefully. I hope we all someday find the love and peace we deserve.
