Good morning!
I've thought a lot of about this (probably more than i should) but i figured i'd throw it out there and see what others think. And it's ok to tell me maybe i have too much time on my hands
The term Survivor to me implies someone who survived something. Beat something. Overcame something. Cancer, accident, horrendous upbringing, a situation that should have left you dead.
So when i google MS and i see the term "survivor" like on clothing or items it makes me feel some sort of way other than a survivor. I think i'm surviving but i'm not a survivor. I haven't beaten it, i wasn't cured from it, it's not behind me. At the same time i'm not in a bad place that i feel i have it worse than someone else may have it from examples above. Not ideal to have MS and there are days i get down about it but for the most part it's manageable.
Thoughts? Are we "survivors" and i don't give myself credit? I like the term Warrior. Makes me feel like i'm ready for the fight.
