I'm glad you are able to be honest with us here. Your posts are very touching. I almost died when I was 21 and now have a rare difficult to treat breast cancer. Both times some people in my life tried to make it my fault--caused by something I did. In the intervening decades my journey was AWAY from blame and self-hatred. Easier said than done, however. So today I am just sending you support and caring. Is there anything or anybody in your life right now that can help the real you?

Hi Miriam, seems like we have walked the same path. I have always had a pretend life. If I ever said how I felt about anything they would tell me I was crazy and needed pills or something. So this same family is panicking because I have done everything for everyone and now they will have to do everything for themselves. One nice thing they are being nice to me most of the time. I’m just not allowed to be sad which I am a lot so I go to the bathroom a lot! It is what it is and everyone is an expert on what how I should do things. I mostly do it my way. Thank you for helping me feel like I’m a real person and not a complaining old bat.
