Vent away! It's hard to live with chronic health issues, and it's even harder for loved ones to care and be compassionate about it all when they don't quite get what your life is like. Sending big hugs through the interwebs to you. I can relate, have had many a day like that. It's not always going to be like this, k?

I'm so sorry, Nicolle. Dealing with constant pain is such a drain--physically, emotionally, mentally. It's so natural to want to share, but it's hard to keep sharing the same thing: "I hurt; give me a hug". It's hard mostly I guess because people who don't have the same experience don't understand. Sending you a hug from here! I hope your Christmas improves.

Thank you Karen and Kristin. I appreciate you both and your support so much.
I feel better today and am just trying to focus on all the things I'm grateful for.

We havent seen the in-laws yet, my father in law is the most likely to drop a less-than-obvious comment about wanting grandchildren (ironically we are the most likely candidates). Since I got my period on Christmas (and all that comes with it), I think I might pop him in the face if he does!! I love them all, but yeah, they don't get it.

One of my good friends passed away through the night last night due to his addiction. It just breaks my heart. I'm going to miss him so much.

Thank you. I just can't believe it. I can't believe he's really gone. He struggled so much, but I really thought he was going to be able to make it. I'm grateful he is at peace now, but it still really hurts.

I'm so sorry Paint. I know these last few weeks have been so rough for you, wish I could give you a hug in person.
