Hi Smile, I found over the years "friends" really don't want to hear too much of the negatives in my life. I have few friends now because my life has changed. They don't know how bad the pain is. They ask, all I say, "same" For me it's better this way because I laugh, talk and most of all I get Away From Me.. It also helps the pain and it feels good. Things that hurt can turn into good experience.
