Dear Bill,
A little self-pity is inevitable now and then. If you are human and have feelings the yes, they will be hurt by whatever bad stuff is happening around you and inside of you. The trick is NOT in not feeling the pain. The trick is pulling yourself together and going on DESPITE the pain.
It's not easy, I know but if you can manage that, nothing can stop you.
There is a well of pain inside ME - not just due to the disease, but for many, many difficulties I've had to face. Every day I have to make a choice. I can wallow in that well of pain or I can climb out, put it aside and go on. Most days I choose to go on, and THAT is what makes the difference!
Be well my friend :)
Amalia
