@frouke What I will say here may not be something you want to try, with no expectations except that you think about it.

I have some severe health issues, that affect the quality of my life everyday. Even 5 years ago life was a lot different. What was sad for me was to feel there was little support, that I was alone in figuring out how to live. What has been important for me was to reach out to others who may feel they are in the same boat, and to help support them on their journey. Feeling alone can be the worst. Extending a helping voice, a shoulder to lean on, for me, is so rewarding. I use experiences and knowledge gained in my life to help where I can. And sometimes, just being there is the best thing. What I get back emotionally/mentally far outweighs what someone else may receive.
