Thanks for the affirmation and understanding!!

You know when people say "Hi, How are ya?" I have come to realize the "how are you" is not something they really would like to know. Because we all seem to want to avoid the deep conversations in life.

That's really true, but being outgoing and talkative anyway I proceed to tell them "how I am." (Except for rank strangers and cashiers and such.) *Aza marks down another issue to bring up in therapy*

My former husband used to say "Not telling everything you know is NOT lying." (I despise lying!)

It's interesting how each of us deal with our illness in different ways. I isolate and sleep the majority of the day. I don't think my coping method is very good for me - the days all run into one long day and life is whizzing by me.

May we all someday be well enough to enjoy life again.
