i wish i could "get well soon."

I think I have wished all of these wishes (plus a few more).

I wish .... I could give you a hug right now

I am tired of hearing "you look ok". Being honest warrants this response often. It seems much easier to fake a smile, and say I'm doing well just to avoid the conversation that follows. And many don't understand and say" suck it up"

Hi there. I know exactly how you feel. I feel this everyday and I wish you could feel better and I wish I could help. I'll be here to chat if you like. Atleast I like talking to someone who understands :)

I can relate to this so much. I was just talking to someone about how it irritates me everytime someone tells me to "get better." The truth is....these are illnesses that I must learn to accept and live with the rest of my life. The best way to support me for those in my life is by saying, "im sorry you are having a bad day. Is there anything I can do to help?" It makes a world of difference when we are supported effectively.

I relate to a lot of this. For a while, I wondered if cancer would be better, as there often is an end. Not worth comparing like that though - too many variables and what's the point of who has it worse? At least it's something I don't have along with everything else!

I think things will be easier once I get to my 'normal'. I think I'm getting close, but I've still gotta get through some stuff.
