How 2 Sisters with Chronic Illness Have Grown Closer Than Ever

How 2 Sisters with Chronic Illness Have Grown Closer Than Ever

When my sister got sick, I felt like someone finally understood my experience with chronic illness.

Introduce Yourself
Hi, I’m Nancy. I have been treated by the same p-doc for 20 years for bipolar disorder. I had a rocky childhood but I feel like that’s true of alot of people. 5 years ago I lost my mom in a difficult situation. But people lose loved ones all the time. I lost my little brother 2 years later but he had a chronic illness that was anticipated. I lost my dad, the one person I felt loved me unconditionally, 2 years ago. I lost 2 dogs, I was a prinary caregiver for one who should have been put down but I respected my husband’s wishes. My retina tore and I lost my vision (and my independence) in one eye. I recovered from the surgery and took on a career change to minimize travel and make my husband happy, hit menopause, got long COVID and started to notice weird things at home. My husband, that I have always said I married because he was incapable of hurting anyone or doing anything moraly wrong, was in an emotionally intimate relationship with a co-worker. When I finally forced an admission, I moved out with the genuine intent that he could spend some time and decide what made him happy and we would work through things. I threw myself into my career but I started struggling with hygiene, executive functioning skills and basic reliability. As things got worse and worse, I had a complete breakdown in October. I could not perform my job duties, cried constantly, disassociated from interactions, gained weight and felt worse every day. During our marriage he realy pushed on the principles of family over friends and that with family you always have someone to depend on. His parents are wonderful, but they still belong to him. I have nothing - very few lukewarm friendships, no family, no spouse, no employment and I’m beginning to lose any form of hope.I don’t know what’s worse right now, my anxiety or depression. I know there are others out there that have gone through more than I have. I’m asking for advice, help, understanding.

I am having a very difficult week. So disappointed that after a month of TMS treatments I feel no better. In bed most of the time & extremely lonely.

I use to buy escorts to fulfill my lust because I never really had a woman or wife. I am clean, but I'm confessing the works of the flesh I use to do.

Jewelry I made. I never thought I would find a home for these pearls. They are not round but come in all types of shapes. Now I find out they are called baroque Pearls and are quite fashionable. There is a place for everything and everyone in this world.
