This is not so much about physical but more the mental side of this condition. I know for many here you are married with kids but for me I am single and live alone. My mom is my biggest support and I love being around her and she lifts my spirits. I am 30 and have very few friends and the ones I do have moved or as many know are not so supportive. I am very limited in my ability though am able to do more and hope to volunteer oneday but it is hard to commit to a day now since my pain level can be so bad at times. I have goals oneday to join a group more and hopefully one day work. I wonder how others who either live alone or have limited people in there life feel less lonely. I try to keep myself as occupied as I can but still hard. I am weird though I don't want a roomate cause I need privacy when I feel so bad. I wish I could meet a guy but can't even imagine bringing someone into this or being able to be social. Even one good friend would be nice. So just wanted to see what others do and feel. I am often so mixed at times the pain makes me not care and then at better times I crave a sense of normal. I am thankful for all the firends here and phone friends as well but real time like even a coffee buddy would be nice.Well thanks.
