Ruchie,
I'm so glad to hear that you are doing things to make yourself feel better about who you are. Those issues can be harder than the physical ones sometimes.

Some things you say remind of myself when I was younger. Just keep trying and don't give up. You're doing things that will definitely get you where you need to go.

You are valuable and just as valuable as anyone else on this whole earth. Treat yourself as good as you treat others. You are worthy of your own kindness.

I'm glad you got some sleep. It's so hard to function when you're sleep deprived! But, it's hard to sleep when you're in pain.

Try not to be afraid, Ruchie. You can handle whatever comes your way. Your circumstances don't have to rule what you think of yourself, or your feelings and thoughts. You can rule those things by being confident and strong and seeing that you can manage in whatever; if you have to.

I constantly give myself advice, as if I was giving it to someone I care about. It's amazing how you will treat yourself when you treat you like you do others.

I hope I'm making sense. Sometimes it feels like I'm babbling.

Well, I am hoping that everything will be better very soon for you, Ruchie. I hate it that you have to suffer through so much.
Terri
