Guest guest Posted May 5, 2008 Report Share Posted May 5, 2008 Deb, thank you for your kindness,as I have found that people are not to kind to me anymore.I am in a south Ga. small town and every one that knows of my illness shun me even people at church so I am kind of on my own.It has been difficult and would think it's going to get worst before it gets better.You are so right when you say you know I am scared and confused because I feel as though I have no control of my life and feeling the way I do and not being able to work it just sucks.All my friends now stay away as they are ignorantto this illness and think by being around me they will get it.So I'm struggling along and am trying my best and that's all I can.Thanks for allowing me to be a part of your group.SidneyDeb wrote: Thank you for joining us.
