Short Bio

I am living in the U.K. and working to live well. I do struggle to achieve this but am sure that despite a chronic diagnosis that it is important. I am basically a happy person and have been lucky in life. That is what I need to be aware of even on the ‘ down’ days
Yes I would love it to go away but feel that working on my acceptance without developing an unhealthy attachment is a more positive way forward.
