Tuesday, Sept. 20: Something you wish more people knew or believed.
I wish that more people believed that their illness doesn't define who they are, it doesn't determine their life, and they are so much more than it!
It's only over the past couple of weeks that I've actually came to realise how many people let their illnesses define who they are, and allow it to determine their life, and it's a horrible thing to see. No one should let their illness take control of their life, the illness is not who you are, it's a small part of you, you're so much more!
I have PCOS, I'm not PCOS.
Yes!! I agree! We do this all the time with so many things. We say, they're mean, or I'm stupid...when really they just made a mean decision and I just made an unwise choice. Those things (and our illnesses) are not who we are! We're people who happen to struggle with those things, but not those things.
