Hey guys,
May as well start at the beginning. When I was first diagnosed a lot of my friends disappeared for various reasons as I’m sure most people can relate to on here. I learn’t that if people are going to treat you like that then they weren’t the type of friends you’d want in the first place. It still hurt though. Because of that I was a lot more cautious when it came to making friends. I made some great friends after starting uni, unfortunately when it finished we all drifted off to various parts of the country and don’t have the same bond we had before.
A few years ago I moved to where I am now really just to get a fresh start and it’s been great up until last year when I had quite a bad flare up of my crohn’s. I was off work for several weeks and didn’t get over it for a few months. During it all it happened again, the friends I made just seemed to give up on me. It’s not my fault I have this disease, why give up on me when I needed support? I supported them when they needed it; I thought that’s what friends did for each other. Just can’t believe that it has happened again.
Recently I’ve been having more problems with my illness and I don’t have anyone to talk to about what I’m going through, feeling etc. It’s getting me down and I don’t like feeling like this. Certainly isn’t going to do me any favours health wise. I’ve started to think that perhaps I should move again, another fresh start, but haven’t got a clue where I would go. I don’t want to move again, I like where I am, it’s a beautiful place, I like the way of life, what the place has to offer and have a job that I enjoy but I’ve just felt so alone over the past year or so, just don’t know what to do.
Sorry for rambling, I hope you don’t mind me posting this but I hope that getting this of my chest goes some way to making me feel better.
