I was given this!

I heard something today that sort of resonates for me.  A girl on MTV (yes I watched MTV) true life there was a girl who has touretts and her condition is pretty severe, but she had learned to deal with it seemingly well.  She has a support system of great friends and family and she is able to laugh with people about her condition. This resonated with me b/c I haven't yet figured out how to deal with my change. And perhaps its not just about learning its about doing its about choosing a mind set and sticking with it.  Like if I decide I will succeed in oh for instance a clothing business and a small writing career then keeping positive about the process and stopping negative thinking might indeed be helpful.  I think my therapist has been trying to tell me this, but it took a teenager on tv for me to understand. That it isn't that you have a disorder its how you choose to deal with it!  So how do I choose to deal, I choose to move forward and remember my inner strength and that I am worth it regardless of my previous notion of who I am, I am still a person an important person at that, and I deserve to succeed and have love and anything I want in my life.  My life has not ended b/c of my injury, and even if this injury continues and never subsides then I still am worth all those things.  So I say to you all what is it that you have to deal with and how can you choose to live with it.  ( I suppose you could tell me negative things you can do to cope but I don't think that is helpful so please don't post if you only have negative responses as this is about discovery).  I vow that I will repeat to myself that I am a strong woman that regardless of my injury I still deserve to live and live as I choose, and that I can be successful just in a different way.  What do you say?
