I hear you Kelly. I had a break up last year and I'm still mired in it, in the sense that I have obsessive thoughts and feelings about her quite often. I can't for the life of me see anything positive that has come out of that relationship, it just hurts. And I beat myself up because it hurts.

But, I can say that I feel much better about past situations that were similar. I've convinced myself that all I can do in the present is continue to build the support networks I need to survive with this bloody illness. It's slow, painstaking work, but I don't know any other way. I've been making friends in this new town by doing things I enjoy and meeting people who are into the same type of stuff.

Do you have a hobby or passion that you have enjoyed in the past?

I'm thinking about you!
