I don’t believe in God. I think I suffer because it cultivates my Empathy. That’s the positive spin I put on it. But generally the world is an unfair place. You just gotta not compare and just deal with the cards you are dealt, make the most of it.

I don’t believe it’s a test.
As everything, it also has two sides.
Both a gift and a curse.

Life is just unfair.

There are probably people out there who would swap positions with you. There’s always someone worse off.

@everhopeful is completely right.

Life is just unfair.

You’re lucky to have a family that accommodates your lifestyle.

Try to focus on the positives.

None of us know for sure if there is some deeper purpose to life. Your suffering might have a purpose, or it might not. But if there is a purpose to life beyond whatever meaning we can create for ourselves, then I’m sure your suffering also has its place somewhere in that purpose.

Across the board anyone that suffers for no typical reason is totally special in the universe makers eyes 100%, our reward will be great IMO

There are terminally ill children with cancer who would love to swap places with you.

Attitude of gratitude, d00d.

Yes maybe. Everything is a matter of perception

True, there are worse cases and I am lucky to have my family. Even my Drs said that.

I also like to think that I will maybe come off meds one day n not go back on. Then I’ll be able to truly appreciate the difference… But even if I don’t stay off meds I think I will eventually get into a better state of mind and then can look back and be like wow I went thru that?? And now I get to be like that??

There’s a saying about satisfaction is gained through effort. So my efforts to recover will make me feel satisfied.
