My thoughts exactly. This has been so hard. Its been 7 months now. My friends are all enjoying their summer and i tend to get left behind because i can't do many things with them. Not that i blame them, but I'm extremely jealous. I miss my life. Im 24 and i feel like I'm old sitting indoors with a hat and sunglasses because my eyes are so sensitive to the sun.

I live with my boyfriend of 5 years and i can tell it is really hard on him as well. He's been amazing taking care of me and being my support through everything but he is getting burnt out. Im constantly worried that this is going to ruin our relationship now. Im not the same person I used to be. Fun, loving and spontaneous is now cautious, irritable and in pain all the time.

Im hoping things start to speed up now. fingers crossed
