Thank you for this great questions and for the wonderful articles you post. I have a non-traditional, what used to be called New Age, spiritual belief system. I believe that, though not all things are good, all things work towards good; that things don’t happen to me, but for me – – to learn various things that will help me grow mentally physically and spiritually. I also believe that I am so very much more than my body.
Though I still get upset and angry with my MG symptoms, that has become rarer and rarer as I be reaching my five-year mark. My beliefs have helped me transverse this experience – – I called it the dance— with much more grace and acceptance than I generally would.
There is so much I have learned from this experience, but I wouldn’t wish it on anyone I can see where this condition is not “good” but for me, it has worked for the good grown spiritually, mentally and physically through this process.
Plus, because I was raised traditionally in the 50s and 60s, a lot of myself identity is burden by the “I am judged by what I do,“ and therefore, not being able to do what I used to do has been an issue talk therapy. It was very helpful in helping me overcome that.
My advice to people would be to find a spiritual path that you can embrace live with this condition.
