I can’t hide my illness anymore. I can’t push to look normal for an hour or
two anymore. It doesn’t work. (At least not right now.)
So, this year I have had to confront my fear of people. I’ve had to confront my own inner need to be
accepted and loved by EVERYONE. I’ve had
to start realizing that I care too much what other people think. (See part one of this series for adiscussion of why that keeps us sick.)
