Hi CB,
If in this group with all of us going through this condition we cannot vent out, then there is no other place in the world for us. You're not rattling on and on and on. We're all in the same boat and we only have each other for support since those around us have no clue nor have the desire to find out about the challenges of this condition. They simply don't care.
I just told another member as the saying goes: "what doesn't kill you will only make you stronger". We just have to adjust to try to cope with the condition and rely only on our own self and each other. That's all we have.
Day by day. Yesterday is history. Tomorrow is an unknown future. And there is wisdom hidden even in pain.
Take care and have a serene weekend,
gus
