You Don’t Have To Be Strong All Of The Time

Hi Emily, It can be very easy to read something that makes you feel even crosser with yourself when you are struggling. I think this is very common, especially when depression is affecting your ability to cope with your physical condition. I know I often get very upset with myself when I read other people's stories when I am struggling to cope. I don't believe it matters how sick you are or if you think someone is sicker than you, sometimes we can be encouraged by another person's story, but don't beat yourself up for feeling like you could 'try harder' when in fact you are doing the very best you can.

You still seem to me to be a positive person who is entitled to feel sorry for herself once in a while. My attitude to my health (and I am nowhere near as sick as you) makes me mad in that I drown in my depression, and I read something like your post and just want to scream to myself "Just suck it up!" My comment was not meant to offend, it just turned out to be more about me than you, and perhaps I will write a post about it.
