“Can I help you in any way?” “Here’s a number you can call, if you need something I can’t provide.” A dream world of mine. Eyes open. Knowledge greedy. Inclusion supporting. Advocacy. My illnesses are not something to be joked about. My illnesses are not to be belittled. My illnesses are not yours to judge at all. My illnesses are mine to accept and manage. My illnesses do not define me. I’m getting comfy. So, you better as well or leave me to get healthy on my own.
