You dont say where you live- there could be a support group in your area? Have you checked the RSDSA site-they list the support groups

I am lucky to have people who support me but I am still very lonely at times because they really don't understand the severity of this disease and I sometimes just need to talk to other RSDers who get it!

You can always come here to vent- we use to try a live chat but couldnt get it together...Maybe we could try again?

Daniella,
Even though I'm married with 5 kids, 2 dogs, a cat & friends a work, there's always that 'lonely' feeling thanks to the wonderful world of RSD...

Hi all and thanks. I am going to try to push myself to sign up for something. I made a call to a volunteer thing that is for an hour and half 2 times a week so I am going to see if I can commit. If I can't at least I tried. I am able to do so much more but still to make a firm plan is hard. I know of a few rsd support groups and I may try one but really I want to try to involve myself in "normal" things if that makes sense. Having support and I would love support from people who understand is so amazing but at the same time I want a life outside of rsd. I think for many an animal is very nice but for me it is a no. I love other peoples animals but for myself it does not work aka why my dog lives with my mom. I tried that years ago.
On a side note I know even before my health problems there was a sense of lonely with in even around people. So I am trying to work on the reasons behind this and find a peace within. Sending many warm thoughts and thank you

You are Loved...and UNDERSTOOD,completely
