"Marcia: Life with severe ME is like screaming into the void"

"Hope is tricky business. On the one hand it keeps me alive, it fuels my tenacity, it helps me take a deep breath and do my best to understand other people’s perspective so I can better build communication bridges."

A former supervisor of mine said to me about 25 years ago: “It must be nice to be a PWD (person with disability) on assistance; you get to sit around, eat bon bons, and watch TV.”

After I took the knife out of my chest, my reply was: “No, it’s like being a very large tiger trapped in a very small cage chewing on the bars.”
