With any chronic illness there’s challenges. There’s relationship challenges because the other person doesn’t always understand what you are feeling or going through. Those are exhausting challenges. I think I stayed alone by choice for 5 years because of my health and I wanted to be alone. Now I am almost done with my bachelor’s degree and I want to go on to the law part of school. With my limitations having a solid foundation is important to me. School is extremely challenging especially when you are in your 40s. I don’t know how many times I have thought to myself that I should have done all of this at once when I was younger. I have 3 degrees already but it took me 12 years to get my last two done.
