Thanks so much for taking the time to share - and I'm tickled that Dar's example hit home. <br /><br />Guilt is one of those things that is so hard to fight - but with a chronic illness, letting it overwhelm us can be devastating. I did it for all too long, and still have to fight to make sure I'm keeping it in check. Knowing that I'm not at fault for lupus or any of the limitations it causes helps me remember that I'm doing the best I can...I'm sure you all are doing the same!<br /><br />And I will definitely stop by your blog, Maya. Looking forward to it!Sara Gormanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07608238591846611898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824828113983189391.post-41926285315884826942010-04-21T23:52:16.358-04:002010-04-21T23:52:16.358-04:00Great post- I think a lot of it has got to do with...Great post- I think a lot of it has got to do with pride and how we feel we will look to others and ourselves- like other people can do it so I should be able to; or they will think I'm fat and lazy if I say I can't do it or I'm tired. I haven't worked in a paid job for ages- I used to feel guilty but now I've got to the point I don't really care what people think...it took years though!Eilahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13596258557995933741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824828113983189391.post-2709838676292752392010-04-21T12:22:11.820-04:002010-04-21T12:22:11.820-04:00Gee, Darwin is light years ahead of me.

I even realised that over that past year since my diagnosis, my previously healthy self esteem has taken a beating.<br /><br />Thank you for this post. It really helps.Mumbinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824828113983189391.post-48532910230386556122010-04-21T10:03:31.831-04:002010-04-21T10:03:31.831-04:00Hi!

I''m the biggest dog lover out there, so this was the best way to get this message across to me :) I put all of those trips on myself and I think next time I will just consider your adorable pug....I know it will help.<br /><br />I was diagnosed with Spondylitis (a severe form of arthritis) when I was 16 and also chronic migraines. I've recently started a blog called "Loving With Chronic Illness" and it seems our goals are pretty similar. My hope is to tell my story and make people not only feel less alone, but learn to live and love a little better with illness. I hope you'll check out my blog sometime: www.lovingwithchronicillness.blogspot.comMayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12464918027158800223noreply@blogger.com
