RE: Life doesn’t stop with a diagnosis - how to accept Chronic Illness

in GEMSlast month

My pleasure - I appreciate you sharing!

Both of those individually are tough to deal with and together they must be a Tag Team from Hades.

While I didn't deal with the same issues, I found when my life suddenly went in a very different direction finding people to talk with about it was like a life raft.

They offered perspective and it was the first time I realized "Hey wait... others have gone through this... oh no!!! Others might be going through this!!"

So I started sharing my ordeals - and just like you, not only did it help me by releasing it instead of keeping it confined... the more I shared my trials... the more people reached out publicly and privately to say "Oh my God, thank you - I am going through something and your story helped me".

That's what I love about your post - sharing my trials, helped others through theirs and that has helped so much with finding the balance and peace you speak of :)

Have a blessed day!

Apparently, sharing is caring. 😊 And regardless of how long it takes to find this balance, you will definitely find it. It's just hard for me to see people fighting within themselves and not wanting to accept help. Many of them think they can do it on their own, and maybe some can, but sometimes it's just impossible to crawl out of the darkness without the help of others. But all of my friends know that they can always come to me, and I also have friends who will always listen when I'm struggling. And now I've found so many people here on Hive with great advices they share. Have a wonderful day! I hope you're enjoying better weather than we are. 😉
