I am sorry that you're going through so much. I am known as guinea pig lover for a reason. Pets are a wonderful diversion. I have lost friendships through not keeping in contact, Iooking back it all seemed to much at the time. I think we all live at slower paces than everyone without the condition and at times it is hard. I was always outgoing before this crept up on me. I am now learning to enjoy doing things at my pace and saying no to things and if people don't understand is it really worth having them in your life?. Living alone has it's plus sides, try and focus on positives!. I lived on my own for 10 years before getting married and although social at the time I was glad to have my own space. It will be exciting getting a puppy when it happens, and although one door has closed ( losing job) another door will be opened. Plus you never know what will happen in the future. My church friends have always been there for me and yes here we go again, I believe in the power of prayer.Treatments are changing all the time / research is on going.
Trust me if you ever meet a partner that doesn't accommodate your needs they aren't worth being with but don't lose hope, anything can happen when you least expect it..... We all have very bad days but we can also have very good days.You sound like a wonderful caring person who would make a wonderful partner to the right person .
Best wishes and squeaks from my little furry guinea pigs.x
