I feel like "oh I tube in the stomach and I cant breathe to well but you know what, I kick ass!" should be my new tagline! ;) Thank you so much for taking the time to write me Ashley! Your comment really made me think... why do I try so hard? And you know what... I honestly don't have a fabulous answer! lol I think I just love living no matter the circumstances! I have a wonderful husband, a roof over my head, and an adorable fur baby who always is willing to cuddle; they make me want to get up every morning :) I now that sounds to simple to be true, (faith has a lot to do with it as well) but I think thats the basics of why I fight to live. I just really love my life!<br />PTSD/Depression/Anxiety are serious illnesses, and truly reek havoc on a patients life! I am so sorry you face them as well. It took me a while to work through them in a therapy called EMDR and multiple sessions of Reiki, but am now happy to report that my symptoms have lessened! :) <br />Thank you again so, so much! I am sending you big hugs from Washington! You are wonderful!Chanel Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12151262536426256191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6079009445260060345.post-85480696692391494162015-07-14T12:46:18.073-07:002015-07-14T12:46:18.073-07:00hey Chanel! I do not suffer from an illness anythi...hey Chanel! I do not suffer from an illness anything like yours, so I will not even try to understand. I cant even begin to know what you and your number one fan (your lovely hubby) are through with this battle. I do, however, understand PTSD and depressing and anxiety. and they suck some booty. Im sorry you had those awful people tell you that you were faking it and that you just needed to put you in your mind that you will better and you will get better. (#itdoesntworklikethat) I had a doctor tell me the same thing. Umm, hello! Not crazy, that is not going to work. people are stupid. But I have a question that will sound rude but it is not meant to sound rude. I am just very straight forward. Why do you fight so hard? Like you have said this illness is going to kill you, so why do you fight so hard? What keeps you going so strong? (maybe not every day but some days) It just seems like you are like, "oh I tube in the stomach and I cant breathe to well but you know what, I kick ass!" Andi just want to know what keeps you going. <br /><br />Oh and im sorry my grammar is awful and if there are any words that aren't common to you. im from south Louisiana and my hubby is from Washington and I still through him off some time with my grammar and phrases I use. <br /><br />And one more thing, people post such mean things because even with everything that is going on in your life, youre still a beautiful person inside and out.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02147862964084482092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6079009445260060345.post-9389851147406741512015-07-07T01:16:53.811-07:002015-07-07T01:16:53.811-07:00Hey Chanel :) hope your doing okay.

Bechets is one hell of a disease, I am so sorry to hear you are battling it! I too have a fondness for researching odd diseases and am very familiar with that particular one as I know a few sufferers of that illness. Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean so much to me!

I'm weird and always like to research odd illnesses. Makes me feel less odd.

Anyhow sweetie, ...OMG I finaly did this correctly! Anyhow sweetie, I stumbled across your blog and was blown away. First off you are an amazing writer! Think about writing a memiour! Prob spelled that wrong. Idk if you're on FB but I'd be thrilled to be friends. I also have a relatively seriously and rare auto immune disease Behchet's disease. NOBODY including the doctors had heard of it. 8 suffering years until diagnoses, and many hospital stays including one that I almost didn't survive. I was 23 years old when it started getting bad. The only reason I'm saying all this is because I can truly relate to and am extremely sensitive to your situation. Being so young and going from healthy to we don't know what your outlook is ie. life span, quality of life, progression of disease. OMG and the meds. Lol. You've got me bear hands down. I've only got 16 pills a day . Lol, lol. Ughhh, better take my fun nightime meds and hit the hay. Please hit me back if you can. xoxo Kristen Fairman Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17245014000653201221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6079009445260060345.post-24788468222579081372015-06-24T00:00:25.832-07:002015-06-24T00:00:25.832-07:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17245014000653201221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6079009445260060345.post-46319911881592409062015-06-14T18:06:29.677-07:002015-06-14T18:06:29.677-07:00I can so relate Chanel!

Song writing is my way of procession & sharing. My song: "What if" has some of the themes that you have spoken of. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=puT7I-APlys&feature=youtu.be I realized I had to stop fighting, accept that my life is different now, and see the beauty all around me.
