Post Note: My last post just minutes ago was not intended to paint a "poor pitiful me" message, in case anyone reads it that way. The intent is to enhance awareness to the mental struggles that often accompany physical illnesses, and especially chronic illnesses. Thankfully, the U.S. is beginning to accept Mental Health issues as a valid, legitimate concern for our Country. People who struggle with mental health issues are more willing to speak up. This is a positive reinforcement and step in right direction. But my hope is that people with chronic medical conditions don't have to suffer alone, or in silence, or feel isolated.
