Having a chronic illness can often be an isolating experience - you may not have the energy to socialize, others may not understand what you are going through, and you may feel alienated and alone.
I thought I would open this discussion as a place for us all to come together, regardless of our condition(s), to support one another and chat! Let's use this space to talk about anything and everything - share your mood, your story, your ups and downs and your support!
So, how are you doing today? Do you ever feel lonely in your illness? How do you cope? What has made you smile today? Do you have any hobbies or activities that bring you joy? Do you have anything you want to share with the community?
Hi, I am new to this site, and have enjoyed the comments. I have depression, COPD and other medical issues. I am blessed because it all seems to be under control. My main problem is loneliness. This COVID has me unable, mentally and physically to leave my house. I have become scared to drive. I was an avid exerciser, but unable to motivate to do that anymore. My strength is slowly ebbing. I stopped going to church as I don't feel comfortable there anymore. I am a mess.
