The personality effect on growing up with CMT

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone,

I was just wanted to tell people something after I was doing some deep thinking.

So I grew up with CMT 1A and didn't have it diagnosed until I was 17. Before it

was diagnosed, I had no idea I had any condition or health problem at all.

Now I'm 19. I've just realized that in my childhood and adolescence, my mindset

was " I guess I'm just a clumsy kid, " or " I must be a lazy person, unathletic, "

or " I'm just always putting in no effort. " Let's just say it's pretty

mind-blowing when you realize that none of those are necessarily true. Instead

of just becoming my own person I've felt I became something that fit these

personality traits that I've fallen into. It feels like I was born into it.
