IDK if you have found this to be the case in your life, but I am just starting to let people know that I have a chronic illness.

Its not going to go away, and I should let them know why I am going through all these tests.

My parents, grandparents.. all kosher.
They don't quite understand, but they haven't treated me any different.

My SISTER.. she didn't even respond!
I sat there like WTF?

I told 2 friends, 1 treated me like I was dying.
The other, didn't respond as well.

Its the non-responsives that really irritate me.

Like really?? We knew one another for how long and you've never been silent before.
I could tell you I want to die, and you'd write back.
But I tell you this, and you don't take the time to respond.

SERIOUSLY??!

It changes people.

I was just stating how I have lost family and friends to this. It hurts a lot but I try to focus on the people like mom who do support me and are there through every up and down. I too before did not open up about my health. Now I have more and though some try to fix who have no clue and some run away I do feel with certain people it has made our bond tighter. I think stating even if they don't understand what you need and what helps or not. Well sending thoughts.

Pray for them,,, when the chips are down,,then your true friends are there to go thru it with you,,it is better to have less real friends than to have alot lot of so called friends,,God is your support,,,and who knows,,maybe something is trully troubling them,,either way,,,pray to the Lord,,he will deliever you,,,bobber
