Hello Again

[LookingforSunshine]

Started a while back but needed a break. Between family stuff and being sick, I can't keep it together much anymore. Hoping to connect again and work through some of this with a great support group.

Welcome back to AS!  I'm sorry about the family stuff and being sick.  Taking a break is a good thing sometimes.  You still will have support from everyone here.  If you have any questions feel free to pm me if you like.  Best wishes to you dear.

Hi Sunshine,

Welcome back. I was wondering where you had gone, but I understand needing a break to handle other things. I'm sorry about dealing with family issues, those can be hard, I know. I do hope you are recovered from being sick, too. Hate being sick.   The good thing is you can always return here, as support and understanding will never expire. We are here for you.

BTW...I've missed your little kitty jamming on those big headphones, too.

Hi @LookingforSunshine welcome back! I'm sorry things got so rough for you. Hopefully you are feeling better at least health-wise. You're in the right place for support. Wishing you well!

Welcome back to AS!

Thank you for the warm welcomes. I've missed being here and seeing people, even if I had only been here a short time. I've been diagnosed with Sjogren's and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. There's still stuff going on they haven't quite figured out. I'm working on getting into a new specialist for this type of thing. I'm miserable at best on a good day.

I wish I could say the family thing was resolved, but it hasn't. Sadly my story didn't end at my youth. Some physical and emotional abuse has been relived by hand of my own son since he was in middle school. Shame has kept me from talking about it, but I've started to open up to my T and dr. He's older now and getting treatment. There are still moments, but fewer. It's also getting better now that I'm ill. He's showing more compassion. I have hope.

I had him tattooed behind my ear I hope to be active again. Maybe even work on my story. Who knows. Each day is a struggle to get out of bed atm.

Welcome back LookingforSunshine! I'm glad you're back, but sorry you're struggling atm.

Thank you Struggling. It's good to see familiar faces again. I think that will help me get through this.
