Hi Daphine, I am also dealing with chronic health issues and would be happy to connect with you via this site. It has helped me a lot. Do you want to share what your issues are? I have Sjogren's- which causes a lot of damage to my eyes and organs and AFIB, fibromylagia, asthma, etc. So far I am up to 23 conditions/diseases. I allow myself to have "pity" time -usually in the shower .and usually after I have gotten another miserable diagnosis. Many of my issues are "rare" with no cure Then drying off seems to help me feel better. I also list the good things I have in my life. Plus, I find eating dark-95%- chocolate helps. I do avoid reading or watching any tv that upsets me. I have certain authors that write really nice, happy stories. It's a constant battle- maybe we can fight it together? Take care, Joan
