And I have all sorts of issues unrelated to MG that keep happening to me that aren't my fault and it just never stops. I just can't handle all these things, everything is falling apart and I don't know what to do. I think the world is against me and I am starting to believe that it will be my turn to die soon. So I am ranting, but also starting to feel desperate. I really can't deal with all the things that keep happening.
I hope the curse goes away, for you and for me and for everyone that has it. I am starting to get so cynical I don't even want to say too much about how I feel.
There are still positive things in my life and I am hanging on to every single one of them. I need them so badly...

Desertflower,
my grandfather, used to say to us when we were kids-look how resilient are all the desert plants- they have learned to survive with a very small amount of water, and pretty harsh conditions, and still flourish . and you should learn to do the same. always be happy with what you have, learn to use it wisely and try to make the most out of it. you may occasionally have to develop thorns outside, but always stay soft in your core.
he was a "weekend painter" and over my head I have one of his paintings-three relatively small and "weak" trees bending in the wind, and one big and "strong" one on the ground after it broke in the storm.

and Erin,
I actually find Job's story very comforting,
we never know why we suffer, or how long this ordeal will be, but eventually things will get better and those who did not lose their faith in themselves and the world around them eventually have the good life they deserve in one way or the other. and although what has happened will leave some scars, those will graudally heal and slowly be forgotten, as life's good fortunes will take their place.
