My Body is Different

I have always spoken about this disease on how the body works and the physical. But CF has an emotional side as well and that side is the most powerful and stressful of all.

As from a very young age, I have watched and learned that my body is different but with no doubt I tried and challenged myself and some thought it's bravery, I say its more like 'the norm'. The human mind is set to save itself. But now I realise that it was in fact bravery and I wish I was still 10 years old.

At a young age some thoughts will not cross your mind, like the how's and the when's, so challanging myself was more like : I want to keep up with my school mates rather than I Can Not just because.

Sometimes this disease can play games on you and people who say remarks like these can be tricky to our minds.

''you look fine to me.'' so why does my body feels so numb ?

''I think you are a bit of a drama.'' - I think they are right.

''You said you were ok, you're still coughing. '' - true, I am.

''you are so lazy.'' - Maybe its all laziness.

Physically and mentally this disease is a battle.

But with the right people, with the right discussions and with the right attitude one will realise to slow the remarks and think before they speak.
