What have you learned?
What is something you have learned on your lupus journey? What have you learned about yourself, about the community, or about lupus in general?
You may be walking alone and actually I was abandon when I got sick everyone left me and support groups are my family and friends whom I use for help. My own mom actually thinks I made it up researched it to use it for an excuse convenient she said.
people, even those closest to us, can be relentless in trying to make it seem like nothing is wrong. It’s hard to deal with that. I’m sorry you have to deal with that. Gentle hugs ~Racquel~ lupus.net team member gentle hugs. There is no convincing people, including family, that you are sick when they are so bent on misunderstanding you. The way that makes a person feels can be like a ton of bricks. I’m so glad you have found support in groups and those who can understand what you are going through. I am so glad you are here ~Racquel ~ lupus.net team member
