Relationships: How do you form and maintain them when ill?
Just Want to Talk | Last Active: Sep 14, 2023 | Replies (76)Comment receiving replies
When it comes to relationships, it’s important to both give and take. I have been very ill with leukemia and did a lot of taking at that time. My focus was on survival and it was hard for me to be a giver during that time. But I still tried to give to others when I could. Now that I am mostly well, I make sure to be there both physically and emotionally for the people in my life.

Thank you for sharing.
In what ways were you able to share when you were very ill? Was it enough? (Also, how are we defining enough?)
It is good that you are there for the people in your life.
I try to be there for the few people that I love. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I fail. When I fail, it crushes me. The people in my life are understanding and don't complain, but it bothers me.
