Sick & Alone

[Guest guest]

To me, one of the toughest challenges of being chronically ill is the isolation.

At first, my loneliness was overwhelming. I've tried to learn to open my heart

and mind to being by myself but when I've been in bed for over a week.. it

becomes very very tough.

Usually I love watching the seasons unfold right outside my bedroom window and I

even appreciate that very few people in my life make demands on my time Most

understand.

When I can't see my fav people, I stay close to them by instant messaging and

texting.

But over a week in bed, waiting to get well is taking it's toll on my spirit.

Please tell me what you do, when you're feeling lonely.

Thank you.
