I feel as if I wrote this myself. What an insightful, thoughtful and truth to power essay. Having been diagnosed 4.5 years ago, I’ve experienced much of those same situations. I remember 6 months into my diagnosis, I stopped sharing my diagnosis with people, just to see how people treat one another. Trying to get your friends to understand it’s not about them, when you don’t feel like attending their birthday party. Navigating through the exhaustion that climbing one set of stairs causes, when you used to do 90 minutes of cardio. Trying not to fall as you stand from sitting, and staying in that one spot until you get your balance. You’ve inspired me to write and further educate those who don’t know what they don’t know, because they never had a reason, to know. Much like us. Thank you!
