A must-read for all those suffering some kind of disability. The book clarifies a lot about how lupus affects mind and body of those suffering with the illness, going from the struggles for getting a diagnosis until making peace with herself. She tells about prejudices, loneliness, depression, abandonment, and brings awareness to how we live our lives, emphasizing the need to connect with those who care about us as career, money don’t matter when your body is taking over your life.
Moderate: Body shaming, Chronic illness, Physical abuse, Racism, Sexism, Torture, Police brutality, Medical content, Toxic friendship, and Abandonment
