Are you happy? How do you respond to people with no illnesses who talk about people with illnesses with a lot of pity? How do you manage to live a happy life despite your illness, or is your illness irrelevant to your happiness?

'people with chronic illnesses don’t want pity' This is so true. ' I just want empathy and people to understand me better.' I live with an illness too and this is what I want people to understand. However I only started getting sick a year ago so I'm still learning to cope. How did you start that acceptance process?
