I have ME.
It’s a huge part of who I am. I may not be my disease, but it certainly effects
every second of my life.
It’s the
part of me that’s unreliable. It’s the part of me that forces me to spend so
much time lying down. It’s the part of me that I hate. It’s the part of me that
makes everything more difficult. It’s the part of me that squashes the rest of
me into a tiny box.
I am not my
disease. I am my own person, I have my own story, my own personality, but
keeping it afloat and not succumbing is a huge battle – a battle I don’t often
have the time and strength to fight, especially considering I’m fighting my own
body 24/7. I don’t know how to be the real me in my life anymore. I’m not sure
who the real me is anymore. I’m lost in a sea of pain, fatigue, tiredness, a
touch of self-pity, with an atmosphere of depression and anxiety surrounding
it.
I want a
cure. I need a cure. I won’t be seeing a cure in my lifetime. But, if I can
raise money for the advancement of medical science, for awareness, for development
and understanding, for a breakthrough, then maybe the next generation can be
cured.
I may suffer
every day for the rest of my life, but it won’t be for nothing if my fight and
involvement can help the future.
