It’s time to stop equating survival with quality of life
Feeling so fatigued that you can’t work, maintain a social life or do the things that bring you joy is not living

If you are someone who has the good fortune at this moment in time to not be living with an illness, or caring for someone who is, lean in: survival and quality of life are not the same things.

Certainly, faced with a choice between dying or living, most of us would gratefully choose the latter without taking a breath. In fact, that feeling of fear and the desperation to live — also felt by those who love us — is often overwhelming, crowding out any contemplation of what the living that we are holding out for will look like.
