10 things telling me that I have been ill for too long

  1. I am happy about some medication side effects and sad if they disappear (e. g. hypertension, for the first time in my adult life I do not need 5 cups of coffee a day to stay awake).
  2. I am challenging my doctors' opinion and assume, that they might understand my current state, but don't actually know how it feels like
  3. I can impress people by putting my illness and state into the right words and attract 20 minutes of full attention
  4. I stop calling the hospital because I think to know what they are going to suggest me anyway
  5. I forgot how it feels to be healthy
  6. Maybe I am already cured and all the misery that I feel in me is just what people call life
  7. Maybe I spend too much time with wishful thinking like the paragraph above
  8. I got used to live with feeling my life under threat - almost
  9. I am looking for jobs for the near future according to my handicap and not the skills and experience that I bring along from healthy times
  10. I am wasting my time writing this kind of lists
