I am an educated, capable person who hears every word you say & carefully evaluates all your recommendations. But your goals do not always align w/mine, &, ultimately, I am stubborn enough to live as I choose. I have hopes, dreams, & goals which do not center around my illness.

Find as much info re your illness as possible from credible sources, join a support group, talk to trusted loved ones/friends, & accept help when needed. Most importantly, give it time. It may seem as if you will never find your footing, but you will. #PatientChat
