Welcome! I have Lupus, Sjorn.Syn., Chronic Anemia, Narcep., & Insomonia. I can identify with your feelings…they are understandable.  
I start my day with prayers, mediation, journal, etc about GRATITUDE. I am so lucky that I can work part-time, still drive, have a couple of friends, family, 4 senses, & faith in God.  
When I am having a bad day… I think, “This To Shall Pass”. HOLD FAST!  
Remember to wear perfume and earrings each day!  
Peace and All Good,  
Helena

Welcome, Helena. We’re glad to have you with us. You have a wonderful attitude. We all can surely find gratitude in our lives despite our illness.  
Hugs,
