Re: hello Achrisman and Group HUG

[Guest guest]

Yes, I thank God for this group as well!

Sometimes I just stop trying to explain it to friends and family! But

then they say something like " Oh! I guess you must be feeling better since you

don't talk about it anymore!!! " and what can you say to that? Well maybe

today but yesterday was hard? who knows about tomorrow?

I finally told my closest friends that if I don't bring it up it might be

nothing new, same thing different day. I hate for it to be the topic of

discussion every time I see someone! I promised if anything got bad, better

or different I would tell them! So blessed to have those few friends since

I was a kid. They were there from the beginning, before illness, and they

know me from back then. They know who I am and that I'm not " lazy " or

" making it up " .

Even so, there is nothing like this group! Talking to people who go

through exactly what I go through or have already gone through something. Even

helping someone else here who is new, it all makes us feel better! So thank

you everyone here!

hugs to all,

Jo
