This struggle without the added strain of deadly disease is hard enough. Adding that to an already full plate can be the weight that tips the balance into self harm instead of self care. Speaking from experience, even with One whispering or shouting in your ear, it is hard to stay balanced and centered.

Prayers and positive energy to your friend.

Sheryl Crows fight against cancer was considerably more well fought than writing a song or wishing it away.
She wanted to incorporate a holistic aspect with her surgery/treatment.
I suggest anyone interested read,(Tao of Wellness).
spirit-mind-body mental habits is a mental strengtening, a spiritual value over basic physical fear. Maintaining mental balance in the face of cancer is very hard, don't judge! Support.

Thank you, this writing almost brought tears to my eyes, it touches me in my core.
it is so true, what you say about submissives always taking care of...

the balance is gone at this moment in my life, (again...) so i hibernate in my home, for a while, be nice to myself and keep the monsters/fakers/abusers at a distant.

Till i get my hope, sanity back again, my selfesteem rebuild.

Sheryl Crows music works for me, too.

And sometimes we need to hit the rock bottom to climb up and become alive again with renewed vigor. Having had, and still being in the process of recovery, lived with a pretty severe case of Lyme disease (the hardest part of being it affecting my brain and therefore that inner mental strength I'm known for) your words resonate with me. Health is not only about your physical body and symptoms but somehow finding a balance between body and mind.

I wish all the best for your friend. What helped me the most when I was going through stroke like episodes and seizures (and we didnt know what was wrong with me so I had to face the reality that I might not wake up after passing out) was learning to find calmness within me. I went back to the teachings of hypnobirthing so listening to positive affirmations and calming music. Each time I was faced with an episode again I would listen to these same by then familiar recordings and they would enable me to remain calm and accept what I was going through. I also learnt that facing the unknown doesn't need to be scary but I do hope your friend doesn't reach such acceptance for years to come.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.
