Stop saying “I am…” Start saying “I’m experiencing…” “I am broken” → identity “I’m dealing with pain today” → condition This sounds small. It isn’t. Language is how the brain builds identity.

Symptoms are not identity. Illness is a condition, not a personality. I am always working on my ‘non-illness anchors’ - parts of life that have nothing to do with the illness. Not as escape. As structure. - a small routine that includes daylight - a skill - a relationship - even taste, humor, curiosity… If everything in your life references the illness, it becomes your personality by default.
