The Sick Times: "Marcia: Life with severe ME is like screaming into the void"

The image is a selfie of Marcia Doherty, a woman who sits in a medical bed in a medical facility. She wears a blue and white striped hat, stylish tan glasses, an white N95 mask, and a white and black t-shirt. The text reads, “The Sick Times. Marcia: Life with severe ME is like screaming into the void. By Marcia Doherty.”

Hope is tricky business. On the one hand it keeps me alive, it fuels my tenacity, it helps me take a deep breath and do my best to understand other people’s perspective so I can better build communication bridges. But begging for my life on the internet, staying alive month to month on donations from strangers, attempting to get a foothold of logic in policies and ways of thinking that are entrenched in illogical bias: these rob hope of its strength. And when you’re approved for Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) on quality of life, despair is an easy thing to teeter into.
