Sally, thank you so much for having the courage to share your struggles. I can relate to everything you said! I too feel need to explain, but I also grow so weary of it. This is becoming problematic because I find myself choosing to avoid people more and more. Now that I'm single (my husband could no longer deal with all my health issues), I go through periods where I feel desperately alone, yet socializing is incredibly draining and my symptoms are too severe right now. When I have to choose between being able to make my own meals or socializing, being able to eat a nutritious meal wins out. Then, of course, I'm accused of isolating, which is true to an extent. BUT, it's not like I chose this life! I don't avoid people because I don't like socializing. I used to be a social butterfly! When I was working, I was the social hub of the office. I organized everything from birthday lunches to conferences – and I loved it! So who I am now, my ME (and a host of other chronic conditions) self feels so alien, but at the same time so does the person I used to be – it feels like it was someone else's life. Having said all this, I'm grateful beyond measure for the lessons I'm learning along the way. Though very difficult, I am seeing light at the end of this l-o-n-g dark tunnel. I've made great friends that wouldn't have met when I was healthy (yes, that includes YOU Sally ❤️), and my faith grows stronger every day. This is an incredibly difficult journey, but great things can come of it. Just look at what you are doing! Bless your dedicated and tenacious heart Sally ❤️. You are blazing a trail for the rest of us!
