Layla Brass was popular, very popular... Until she got ill. This is a fictional story. But ME/CFS are real conditions and Layla's symptoms are the only part of 'This Isn't Me' that are based on fact.

Why me?

My story and how I'm overcoming obstacles.

Sometimes it feels like I'm black and white, and everyone else is in color. Other times it feels like I'm in color and everyone else is in black and white, and everyone is watching my every move, judging me, and trying to decide if I'm just asking for attention. The truth is, I would do just about anything that I could to get that attention to go away. I have Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, and being the only kid in my class with chronic pain is not easy. I have to fight to do everything that most people can do easily and no one realizes it. Instead, when I can't do something, people assume I'm exaggerating and I could do it if I just tried. So I want to share my story for anybody who is going through what I am.

I want to make it clear that this isn't a story, but quotes that help me deal with my chronic illness. I have HMS, Hypermobility Syndrome. This causes chronic pain and luxations of my joints among other things. If you don't like it, don't read it. I'm not posting this for hateful comments.
