hope it doesn't sound insensitive to say "happy birthday!"
i am 30 too.
i think getting older can be a good thing. for me, i can learn how to deal with things a little better as time goes by, and i don't let as much bother me.
but it can always be frustrating when we are reminded of how long we have suffered.
i guess the best we can hope for is there will be things that happen to you in the next 30 years (and the next 30 after that) that you would never want to give up, just like some of the happy things that have already happened to you.
i know you are worried about your illness getting worse, but that isn't a foregone conclusion, is it? and it could get better with the proper meds.
