This YouTube interview (Mick Unplugged) features Alicia Bohley speaking about living with high anxiety as a caregiver/parent affected by MPS1. She frames her experience as choosing to find silver linings, describing the emotional strain (constant strength required, wish not to have to be strong) and reframing adversity into positive action for her child.

Chapters

So I definitely am a silver lining type of person. I've had to retrain my brain to think that way. If I don't. Like, I am very high anxiety. I carry a lot of stress and a lot of anxiety. And people tell us all the time, you're so strong. And it's like, I'm not strong because I want to be strong. I wish I didn't have to be strong all of the time, but I don't have no choice. If you have a child and you were in my shoes, you would be doing the exact same thing. I'm not special. Like, we are not any different than anybody else. Like, we were dealt a not great hand, but we have to be able, able to take that and turn it into something positive.
