Up, down all around

[Destined3]

*stops banging head against wall* I have the life most would cherish, the man every woman wants, and all I can think of is crap, im so tired of fighting this stupid disease.... I can separate me from it now easily and regularly. The hard part is, these two entities become closer and more alike, and then the depression, the self esteem issues and the crap all seem to overwhelm me. Does anyone have any ideas on how to get through this, or to make myself believe that my disease is the only one beating me, and that I am ok? I just would like some feedback on ideas on keeping the distance between the well me, and the sick me, to keep my head up and carry on without the whole omg I suck routine....

t doesnt define u hon... its just part of u.. its not u.. if that makes sense? i know what i mean, i just hope u do.. lol! it can be hard to seperate the 2 and see it solely as something that is unwell, like a cold but it is possible and it is possible to keep the well side well, without the unwell infecting it.. dunno quite how some people do it but my fool same plan is being different in different places.. lodging the diff parts of me in diff locations so to speak.. am incredibly different when in my flat, with family, at work, with friends, with therapy friends (theyre friends but friends i can be true to lol!) and by doing that i can get the sense of wellness even when things are rocky.. i love my job and actually weh im feeling down i actually crave it to cheer be up.. i really missed it over the summer hols and thats prob y enjoying it so much atm..

anyways.. my advice really isnt that great this time of night.. need sleeeep.. but am thinking of u and am always here
