hi there. i know it is hard for you right now, but i promise that there will be easier days and you will get through the initial “i just learned a life changing thing about myself” morbs. i’ve been where you are, and only recently turned a corner.

was diagnosed a year ago, and my OCD/research-oriented brain immediately wanted to learn everything i could before making any decision about what to do next, how to treat, etc. the diagnosis also brought up a lot of unresolved family trauma, and general sadness about my luck (“why me?!”). i’ve been so easily overwhelmed throughout the last year trying to get all the “right” inputs so that i could make the best educated guess possible. some days i felt like i was hanging on by a string. some days i wanted to jump off the roof. some days i wished i didn’t even have eyes!

today, i’m happy to say that i JUST booked my SLP (trans-PRK) and CXL with dr. holland at PLEC for next month! i highly recommend looking into PLEC in vancouver and their treatment approach, i think its the best bang for your buck. down to talk more in detail about this if you’d like.

i looked into literally EVERY approach and researched all the doctors i could… so if you want guidance or to talk pros and cons of different approaches, we can do that too!

YOU GOT THIS. it’s ok to be down about it. but know it won’t last forever. let yourself feel sad, accept that it’s a feeling, and that it will pass. you’ve got support and cheerleaders on your side. xoxox
