Apparently I had a lot of anxiety going into this week and it all came to head on Sunday when I had the worst stress-anxiety attack I have had in a long time.
I just wanted to say that I so relate to the frustration of never knowing when you will be too sick to show up and it destroying your ability to make plans. I don’t have any suggestions. I’ve been torn up about this myself.
I hope things get easier for you soon and you’re blessed with a stretch of good health.
it is so hard. I find with my chronic illness I can’t have really good friendships because I can’t keep up with them…and people feel ignored do not feel like I’m being a good friend. I have a really good friend named Emily who also has a chronic illness and that helps….everyone else has fallen away. It’s so hard, I totally understand. I also know that friendships come and go through the tides of life and everyone has their own things they are dealing with, so it’s not all me. I think America has a very superficial friendship level to begin with and when things get tough it’s usually easier to ignore the hard things and people leave because pain is hard. Even Job had three good friends who came in his hour of need right and they all three got it wrong and probably hurt him a lot. Even his wife told him to curse God and die. Sometimes life is just lonely but keep going.

thank you so much, I am hopeful for that too! Wish the same for you. it's so hard.
Bless you! It’s hard to maintain friendships this way. If you have any advice on that I’m interested.
