    Great dialogue today...this is what the group is all about!
I am going on 13 years and I would be lying if I said I did not occasionally
have a self pity party......it is very hard getting sick and never getting
better...and if I dwell on this fact or how lousy my body has felt every
minute of every day for 13 years.....I would throw in the towel. However for
the most part I chose to live my life to its fullest realizing my
limitations but trying my best to find ways to overcome them. That is why
this group and my NJ Support group is so important. .....we talk to people
who understand.....and in most cases can relate far better than our spouses
or family members.
    I have found that an occasional good cry can really help!
 
    Thank you for letting me be involved with so many brave and caring
people!
 
Rob in New Jersey

Hi Janet,
 
I wonder about that, too.  For the most part I am able to stay emotionally
on top of things, but that being said, I also experience very dark times. My
pdoc (Psychiatrist) has told me that it is perfectly normal and part of
being human.
 
Like you and Jeron though, I MISS my old life.  Being physically active and
fit was just part of who I was.  Not being able to participate in my former
activities will probably always be painful for me.  Never again will I walk
ten miles at a shot, or ride a horse.  Have I adjusted?  For the most part,
yes, but as I mentioned there are still some very dark days.  We're all
human.
 
Gracie
