Most of my friends are vastly unfamiliar with this disorder and are surprised when they find out how horrible this illness is. Although millions are affected by this and thousands die from it yearly, it's still a vague, obscure issue in the public's eye. My specific disorder can be better described by the following link:

I implore all of you to research as many disabilities as possible so you will know how to handle such things as it could happen to anyone. I have dealt with this disorder all of my life so when people give me some sort of added respect, I humbly deny it. I just live each day and deal with things. I have no choice. I'm no hero. Things are better solved if we're all on a level playing field.

Scott, you are a hero because you haven't given up. You've learned a lot more about this life already than most people will learn living a full life.

Your illness makes no difference to me. You are an amazing person, and I know you're strong.

This is an information thread. I'm not seeking pity because I'm depressed or because I want people to understand me better. And stop calling me a hero. I was born this way. What do you want me to do? Give up and kill myself? I'm just living life. I don't want to be put on a pedastal for being different. Do I think healthy people are heroes because I'm not? Making us out to be so special is the reason why manipulation is needed during telethons to get the public to wake up when in a knowledgeable society full of actual information without resorting to pathetic shots of little kids in a pool to sad music and a cloud graphic, we could be seen as people. I'm just as flawed and dumb as anyone else and I'm sick and tired of being made out to be some sort of god because I like living.
