I felt so stupid what happened to me on Instagram at the beginning of this year. I only went on the site to follow my favorite country music artist Wille Nelson I am avid music fan all kinds Reggae Rock and country so finding out about Willie on a social media platform seemed normal . I abandoned Facebook in 2020 after a year I found it to be artificial not like the Mighty where people lift you up instead of tearing you down. So I went on Instagram against my gut feeling because I bought tickets to go see him last year and because of my progressive condition I can't attend any concerts anymorre it's been 15 yrs since I saw him in concert. I made a profile for myself and started scrolling or searching for Willie's Instagram post and sure enough I found one but what this dumb farm animal didn't know it was a fake.

I texted back and forth with someone pretending to be Wille and fell for the whole rouse until they started asking me more personal questions and I became suspicious. The whole thing broke my heart you know with chronic illness we only have very few things we can engage in and someone was impersonating w one of my idols that I first met when I was 16 face to face. You can tell by the story I'm over 55 maybe it was my fault for not knowing that fake Instagram Accounts existed. If you read this story thank you for taking the time it's way too long I know #OCD #DDD #ChronicPain #Anxiety #RareDisease #MDD #BP d#PeripheralNeuropathy #bilateralfootdrop
