I hear you. I've been off work for about 5 weeks and it's as if I dropped off the face of the earth. I finally got a card from two co-workers the other day but mostly, people just stay away. I think they feel like they have to "fix" my problem and don't know how so they just avoid me.

It's not like we have broken legs or just had surgery - it's nothing they can actually "see" so it's like it doesn't exist. I'm sure that's how most people feel. It's frustrating and lonely. Hang in there. We hear each other and acknowledge each other here. That's why I'm here!
