Hello everyone. I'm new to the forum and already enjoying reading and check out the different threads I can. I was recently diagnosed with a debilitating, life long disease. It's the sort of disease that becomes all about everyone else, when it's mentioned, so dealing with it is pretty isolating. Lots of platitudes and "everything's fine"s. I've been battling a sort of depression, that just feels like really I'm accepting my reality and I'm starting to see some other mental effects (trouble concentrating, remembering things). Anyway, hoping to have some great conversations here.
