Can we try to think about diseases in a different way?

I've a few questions as well as a few personal opinions based solely on my own experiences with my many decades of diseases, syndromes and many more chronic illnesses. I'd like to understand why some people here in this community begin most of their questions and/or comments offering everyone here an entire list of their depressing diseases, syndromes and so on. I just read 1 woman's novel which should have been named"Poor me, and here's my entire list of medical diagnosis, and why I am always feeling sick."
    Please don't take what I'm stating here in a negative or disrespectful manner. I too have several illnesses, diseases caused from a single disease and the list can go on. But? Instead of my listing all of my health issues I've fought and I will win these battles. This may not be coming out the way I intended? But, I'd love to read stories here when people state that they will fight their medical battles and win!!!  I truly believe that if we were to be much more positive in our minds and bodies that this is the absolute best medication to be taken. And this type of medication? Has not 1 single negative side effect! In truth? Having a strong will and a strong mindset against these diseases,syndroms will have its positive effect on us.
I was reading this 1 woman's list of health problems, that I literally got so angry with her ongoing list of nothing but negative input that will poison some of the other people who comment here. I never complain about my health problems. Why? What good does this do? When people like us who are seriously ill wish to complain? This is why we see our specialists. To complain to them about what's ailing us this week or this month. This is the only time that I complain. And I don't even call my "complaining" complaining when I speak with my specialist. I simply explain to him what's going on with my illnesses, diseases et cetera. Then, I ask him for his personal advice/opinion as to what I should or shouldn't do, take,eat and so forth.
The only point that I wish to get some of y'all to understand? Is to stop complaining about what you do have. And start to focus on the things that you do have. Hey??? We're alive, right? Aren't we doing so much better than many other people? Try to switch from constantly telling anyone who will listen all of your health problems. And start telling everyone who will listen how beautiful the weather has been, or how much you love your family and friends. Tell anyone who will listen that " My life is awesome, and I'm blessed just to be here. That's about all that I really wanted to tell anyone who would listen in this community. My intentions were not to offend or upset anyone here , because I will say this much about my own health battles. I know what it's like to feel so much physical pain that I've had to use my elbows instead of my own hands due to the horrific pain. But hey y'all? I'm still here, and I plan on being around until I'm 80 years old. This is my goal......80 years of age.....at least 80!!
Again? I didn't intend to upset or offend anyone here. And if It did? I deeply apologize for anything that anybody may have taken offense to. I wish those who are chronically ill ( yes, like myself) to start positive thinking instead of stinking thinking. Toughen up people. This is the life that the GOOD LORD has chosen for us. Know why he chose us? It's because he knows that we can carry such a petty load in comparison to what loads others must carry.....and then some.
Well.... this is my first comment/post here, and this will also be my last comment/post here. Maybe I got a couple of people here thinking about some of the issues I mentioned. Then.... maybe not. Be strong people. We have within ourselves the amazing ability to literally heal our own illnesses, diseases, et cetera. The human body can repair itself ( I don't mean we can cure every disease, illness we have) if we open our minds for this possibility. What I'm telling everyone here about our bodies literally healing itself? Is a proven medical fact!!!!  Yes? Proven medical fact.
Take care everyone here, and I wish you ALL the very best in life, because isn't life great?
Thanks for reading. Again, I had absolutely NO intentions of upsetting anyone here.
