Hello @spond568‍, thank you for opening this discussion! emoticon cute

Hi everyone, how are you today?

Are you able to talk openly about your AS with your loved ones? Do they understand what you're going through? How do you talk to them about it? Have you ever had someone not believe you?
@Badbones‍ @Cdionne1089‍ @Avro560‍ @Kerryross‍ @Kanna3‍ @w2007sara‍ @JayLynn‍ @Tinamaria‍ @jrobinjrob‍ 

Don't hesitate to share your experiences and advice here!

Take care,
Courtney

Good site! I really love how comfortable it is on my eyes. I'm wondering how I can be notified every time there's a new post. [This content has been moderated by an administrator]

For me, it is important not to hesitate to speak up. Your family must support you, it is essential for our recovery

As for my own opinion, I am willing to tell my family my current situation about AS. Because only family is the place that loves, protects and protects us. Your family will take care of you through this difficult time. [This content has been moderated by an administrator for violating Carenity’s Terms of Use.]

@DejonMuller

Speaking up slope game without hesitation is crucial, in my opinion. We can't get past this obstacle without the love and encouragement of your loved ones.
