I found this one and thought about all of us. Not only does this apply to
TMer's but does it not apply to anyone in general? I know that I was trying to
live my life in this manner before the TM. Yes, I also have epilepsy, but I
lived in denial of it for so long that I found myself over compensating and
feeling somewhat inadequete (sp). I again went through this with the TM, the
feelings of inaequency and changes, but it did not take me years to get over
it as I already had my lifes lesson with it.
Today, although I am afflicted with a disorder, TM, a border line diabetic,
and a herniated disk, I also realize how lucky I am! :) I have 3 beautiful,
loving children, a wonderful helpful best friend, I am alive, and am a strong,
kind hearted person. I have many things to be greatful for.
Of course I have sustained many terrible happenings in my life, some that
could have gone onto the chronicles of "Springer" for sure, LOL, but I have
also learned, and I do belive it is because I have been ill, that it is how I
have gotten through it all and how I choose to look at it all.
Yes I still get scared at times and yes I still have bad days. I am early in
my recovery, but I also know I do what I can with what I have! Some days more,
some days less. And that is okay! I might not like it at the time, but when
the bad days are done and over with I realize it is not so bad after all. I
guess I think it sure could have been a lot worse.
I also know that without the support of my friends here on this list, I could
not get through this. Thanks to you ALL!

LOL)
