Hey, guys. Was just cleaning out my email crap for year-end. Something to do, I guess. Anyhow, I was going through my sent folder and was quite disappointed to discover how many of my notes to supposed dear friends and/or family types had gone totally unresponded-to. Texts, too. Just another aspect of the dehumanization that befalls those of us with this illness, I guess. Anyhow, I expect it by now, so it's not like it's some grand surprise (cue sarcastic laughter).

So, I was wondering, am I the only person in this situation? Is it just me? Do other people just get totally blown off like they don't matter or exist? Do people think we're, like, dead or something? Just wondering.
