Fw: being made fun of

[Guest guest]

Dear Gretchen,

You come with a lot of great questions...thanks! I think it helps us see how

similar we are and that we are not alone in this boat!

Hugs,

Becca

******* I have had people comment and tease me my WHOLE life about my

walking, my feet, my tremors, so many things related to the effects of the

disease. Even my kids say I walk Different, although they do not tease me in

any derogatory way. We have laughed together watch my 11 yr. old imitate my

walk. Humor is a must to get through life in general. It hurts less if you

can coat the emotional pain in a bit of humor. As a kid, I could not do this

at all and it was very hard on me emotionally. I was an adult before I began

to learn coping strategies for life in general.

******* Also, it is important for me to recognize my abilities and my

limitations and pace myself and cherish the positive and let go of the

negatives. If I know I am doing my best and someone else is thinking that I

am not--- I will know the difference and know the reality and truth of the

situation and do what is best for me, because I know what I am doing is best

for me.

******* If I do NOT take care of me-- no one will!

Thanks Gretchen again!

HUGS TALK SOON!
