Hello again CB,
Indeed, the psychological challenge of trying to cope with neuropathy is the most critical part of dealing with this condition. It is not easy, in fact quite difficult to find people that will just be there to offer support. I can suggest to you to check out the following website which you might already know about:
https://www.foundationforpn.org/
they do offer support groups along with video chats.
Yes, we do turn to GOD but GOD did not create us to be an island on our own. HE created us to love and be loved. On our own and alone, this will never happen. We all need another person. That's the essence of being realistic as you mentioned.
Take care and keep smiling,
gus
