Thanks for this comment. I have always felt physical disability was a character defect in myself, but curiously not in others! The same with depression/anxiety. I am the first person to support someone if they need to get help or are having a difficult time. But me? That's where I've had to learn to treat my own self with respect and caring courtesy. Like you, I've become dependent upon excellent nutrition and exercise, and cut out the chemicals. smile
