Toddlefeet..I don't know if you will read this or not..but you just did an awful lot of pissing and moaning and castigating others for the same thing. This is a thread where people share their burdens, their fears, their crashes and despair and receive lifting hands on those days when things just seem overwhelming. There are very few here that have an easy life. We may not have CF, but we do have people with emphysema, bi-polar, depression, lupus, cancer, PTSD, and more ailments, physical, psychological and emotional than one would think. Some of us have lost people in the recent past and further back or are losing people we love now. This thread is for those times when we crash and burn and sometimes the people who are here, who care are the ONLY ones who don't judge, don't say suck it up but instead just reach out and offer comfort, acceptance, tears of commiseration and sometimes laughter. We share our pain here and our triumphs in another thread, and what you don't see is the number of people who reach out and talk, live to those who are hurting. I might not have made it through this past month without some of the people here, not just with health issues of which I have more than a few that have had me fully disabled since 1989, but profound depression over my sons murder. He would have been 34 this month, the anniversary of his death 16 years ago was this month, and the pain is just as fresh today as it was the day I found out. Another of our members almost lost her daughter, and another lost two relatives within days of each other, one to suicide. Without people who care enough to listen(read) and call, that pain is devastating and rarely ends. No drug makes it better, no treatment ends that pain. Before you explode all over people, stop and think how much do you really know about them. Do you know that I have my dog trained to support me so I can get up and and not bump into walls when my neuropathy affects my balance. do you know I am going blind slowly, or that I have PTSD and DID, Diabetes, Emphysema and Asthma? do you know what ills any of us have..or have you read your way through all 792 pages to catch up with our lives to know. Seems to me you missed a lot that happened just in this past month, but more..that you missed the purpose of this thread, a safe place to vent, to yell, to cry, to share and have at least one person care. Welcome to the I hate thread..we get that you feel life sucks with CF. We agree. Care to vent? poenkitten
