Oh man. I'm reading all your posts about what AE is coming out with aaaand I have another thought.
Just sharing my thoughts with y'all.
Whenever I go through a stressful period, not only is my mental health affected, my physical health is too. I can't eat properly, I can't sleep, I get completely run down. Take in mind I'm pretty young and I'm super healthy generally. But I still get really affected. What if I were to add MS into this mix? I can't really comprehend what that would do to me.
I'm reading all the stuff AE is coming out with and for the first time properly, I feel for his new partner. I really feel for her. There is no evidence at all that she's behind anything - I'm pretty sure her partner would have noticed also, given he seems to spend all his time with her.
She has a diagnosed condition. I'm not sure if AE has some kind of issues with the medical profession, as her take on disabilities is so we THINK I have fibromyalgia! we THINK my youngest daughter has ADHD.
For both of these conditions, when DIAGNOSED, there are physical therapies, there is medication. I was diagnosed with ADHD when very young and that diagnosis allowed for me to succeed. I developed coping mechanisms, I got therapy, I recognised when I need to take medication, but also how to not rely on medication. My parents did me a real service working with doctors in getting me diagnosed and getting me help.
Further, it's like 'THIS WOMAN IS A PSYCHOPATH FOR MAKING HER MS JOURNEY ALL ABOUT HER' - it IS all about her! It's HER. DIAGNOSED. CONDITION. THAT. AFFECTS. HER.
Christ on a bastard bike, what is this world.
P.S. Editing to just add another point. Having seen her latest instagram. If a partner of mine EVER tried to prevent me from being close to my parents, EVER tried to prevent from showing me what they meant to me or EVER tried to prevent my parents from being actively involved in my kids life - they would get put in the fucking bin. I would not accept it.
