I’m sorry if this offends anyone

I’m so sorry if this offends anyone but it made me smile as it’s how my so called friends have made me feel lately. I have certainly found out who my real friends are over the last few months & some have been the unexpected people. 💖

I’m so sorry that some of your friends have made you feel this way - it must be very tough- sending a big hug to you 🤗💕

very true.the problem I have is that Docs told me I wouldn’t get better,hopefully we can manage my condition.that was fair .enough.I didn’t want to be given false hope .

Currently there m on ambulatory oxygen,my hairs thinning use a Walker outside,generally crack on with it.

If I’m a bit rough and am not seen for a day or 2, when I reappear they say are you better ?

It’s nice to be asked,but Wish they would just ask how are you? Sorry to moan enjoy the day x

Hi MoominMommaThis really put a smile on my face.

I know how you feel, I'm feeling very low at the moment , something seems to be wrong I don't know what. I have an appointment with my gp this week and a hospital appointment.

I feel very much alone as my family don't seem to understand.

Big hugs to you 🤗 ❤️ x

Hello MM. That gave me a smile. I like the wing over the other one. Unfortunately our human friends do not understand lupus and other AI diseases. You are invisible unless your rashes or other affected body parts reveal illnesses. Sleeping all day and we are slugs. You are not alone. I lost friends and it made me very sad. But I became very appreciative of friends, neighbors and family members who have stuck with me. When I feel well they cheer me on. They were the ones willing to really listen to what AI diseases are and lupus. I’ve sought out new interests and made new friends.

Best to you! MrsMarigold

This made me laugh out loud. On a serious note I am so very sorry that your friends have not been there for you. Honestly mine all dumped me when I got sick and not useful anymore. On the positive side I have “ met” the very best of people here and on social media. Your life changes so much when you get sick, especially if that illness is not tangible to people like cancer or broken bones.Huge Cwtches and lots of love to you. May your unexpected supporters turn out to much kinder and more loyal than your old friends xxx

Thank you for posting this! 😆1. Yes,it's amusing, and I laughed.

2. I totally understand. I have hardly seen or heard from most of my "so called friends" since becoming I'll!

("Sorry I couldn't see you,I'll come back when you're better"!)

3. You've come to the right place! 😚

Ppl on here understand,truly empathise and support you.

In general, here, I think ppl are happy to have a bit of humour...it can help you cope with stuff a bit easier.

True friends stick by each other through thick and thin.

If they've taken a hike when you really need them, well...how good a friend were they?

Keep finding humour in life. Take your medication. Remember that you're not alone!

😊x

Totally feeling this right now!! Been having a flare-up for nearly a week and my mental health was poor yesterday to the point where I was thinking about people showing their true colours towards me and their lack of support.

Bless you. Sending you hugs 🤗

Hi there

This is just perfect, so funny and so true. Thanks for posting it and for making me laugh.

Sometimes, I feel others reactions/behaviours and how they make me feel are almost as bad as how the Lupus makes me feel. Obviously in a very different way, but just as painful. I do hear you. Sadly it seems we have all had this experience. So, don’t ever feel it’s ‘you’, as if they fail to see how fab you are then frankly it’s their loss. Also, it’s worth thinking that Lupus etc can be a way of losing the losers/people only there for what they can take from you/the good time friends. I know it hurts terribly, but we rise (eventually!).
