It has been a tough few weeks...
I do love hearing about your adventures, your joys and sadnesses, your life.
But please remember, chronic illness IS my life.
So many friends respond to the good, and that is good. But supporting me during the not so good would be great too.
I want to respond to your messages, posts, texts to let you know I am here and would love to have this conversation... But my mind slips and my words fail. So I stare at your brief words and click the message off.
The guilt of the kind of friend I am being is just as painful as the friends shunning me. Please know, I still love you, I am just having a tough time right now.
