Just saying that her life isn't as bad as she thinks it is but then maybe thats part of the narrative shes built up for herself

Her body is quite literally disintegrating.

Yes and thats sad however that doesn't take away everything else thats good in her life
BenRG:
Both Chris and SpanielBear make good points. However, I think that, whilst Chris is correct that May has many blessings for which she should be grateful, I do think that he's ignoring the degree to which the psychological consequences of her physiological condition impacts on her ability to appreciate those blessings. Yes, she has many good things in her life. Unfortunately, she also has a great number of bad things in her life and one or two absolutely terrible things. Unfortunately, as with most humans, the bad outweighs the good.
It is all very well to wag your finger and tut-tut about her ingratitude but her situation makes it impossible for her to fully appreciate it. I find it odd that Chris, with his experience, isn't more aware of the way that negative psychological pressures can make people cynical, disruptive and outright obnoxious, even when they have every possible rational cause to want to be otherwise and modifies his expectations accordingly.
That said... Yeah, May is a brat who enjoys being the rowdy teenage class clown a bit too much. That's definitely one of the major negatives of who she is.

I'm aware of it but people still make their own choices and May, to a large degree, chooses to act the way she does
Is it cold in here?:
May's cynicism is holding her back, as I see it.
I wonder if she's the new Faye, reminding forum people of seriously unpleasant incidents with people from their past. Faye showed more attempts to get better (while remaining stuck).
