I was talking to a friend I haven’t seen for ages and started telling her my recent history and illnesses. She asked how I coped and I said “well someone’s got to have these things, if I do then I’m taking on something so someone else doesn’t have to”. And I realised that’s exactly how I feel!

I don’t feel crushed or annoyed. I don’t feel too hard done by. I just think “OK, so let me just deal with it”, take the medication. So what if I rattle as long as I can keep going.

Don’t get me wrong, I am really fed up at the moment. The world is flummoxing  me. It’s crazy, and selfish, and cruel. We can’t escape the creators of the chaos. But I will accept my life for now.
