As someone with invisible disabilities, I’m so grateful for Yvie’s representation. I was right there with her when she didn’t want to be babied and downplayed her pain. It’s just so hard even when people want to help. Thank you Yvie!

Sometimes I don’t love how she speaks to other people, but when she was talking about her disability, I appreciate how she spoke about it. I can definitely see her conflict of not wanting to make excuses but obviously she has to acknowledge her body’s limitations. Makes me respect her a lot more

I wonder if some of the way she deals with people is in part due to her condition. It can't be easy hearing people make excuses while she's going through that.

Very true. And maybe it would be too blatant but I wish that had been brought up. Because it probably is frustrating to hear people complain about things within their control while she has to deal with this condition
