How do you find balance?
When you're ill for a long time and can't stick to the things you love doing, how do you manage your mental health? Do you find it difficult to balance the emotional and physical aspects of SMA?

When I’ve been sick for a long time, which is usually everytime I get sick (it lingers) I have a hard time accepting that I’ve lost mobility. I get weaker when I get sick and then it’s like starting over from scratch again. It’s mentally draining but I tell myself that it’ll get better a little at a time. It took all that time for me to be sick, it’s going to take time for my body to bounce back, but it will bounce back to my normal level of weak soon. Having that in my mind helps me feel okay with being slower at doing things or tiring easily after recouping from an illness.
