Its interesting to notice, as a person with a chronic illness and perhaps some challenging life situations, everyone around me seem to now associate nothing else but this aspect to me.
Nobody seem to want to know how my job is coming along, how are other aspects of my life panning out.
I greatly appreciate the concern everyone has by asking how I am doing (health wise). I understand the dilemma they face - if they don't ask me about my health they might think they are being insensitive...
However, my illness and difficult situations in life is not my identity.
I try every day not to let it become my identity.
I try very hard to not seek and live on the sympathies of everyone, to continue to keep my independence as long as I can.

This is so inspiring. I can relate the story to mine. I was sick and gone through Voice Disorder Treatment . I was different from all my friends. But Now i feel like everything happened for good. I'm stronger and learnt lesson early.
