How are you? [topic 7]

❌ I’m lonely, thanks.

I’m losing friends. I’m losing family. Chronic illness has a way of changing our closest relationships. I hear the whispers. What happened to her? She used to be so much fun? Now all she does is sleep. People who used to love my company are distancing themselves. They’ve stopped inviting me places and get angry when I cancel on them. I’m losing friends and family, but do you really want to hear that? Trust me I really never wanted too feel this way at all but I did for many years it is hard keeping those who were and are close to you close all the time while struggling with this, but I am now so blessed that I don't have to feel this way anymore.
