Hi silent, you are not alone any longer. You have us now to talk with and share your feelings with. We will be right by your side.I'm sorry your family does not support you. I'm glad that you have total control of the illness. Maybe you could get out and meet some people to take the loneliness away. Try to not isolate yourself to your room, it can become so unhealthy. You are definitely not worthless. You are such a worthy person and you need to believe this. It's the truth.

Thanksgiving often brings out the worse in families. Too much food, alcohol and football. Find something that gives you peace and hold it in your heart and the day will pass quickly enough.

Why do people who won't talk, text, PM with or write to each other the rest of the year HAVE to get together on the holidays? Especially those of us who find some of them to be walking triggers for other issues?

I get to pick my friends as payment for not getting to 0pick my family in MHO. So I pick cafefully.

Cpt. Black,

not sure I understand your comment? Dysfunctional families?

My experience is no substitute for sound medical advice.

You look under "Disfuntional" in the dictionary and you find a Family Reunion Picture of my family as an illustrated example! Laughing

I hope you got through all this and realize some people just shouldn't get together, no matter what the relationship.

I finally realized nomatter how much I gave up to make others happy they seemed to need more. It drove me to a breaking point. So I started just taking "Me Time" and making sure others understood why and had they're "Me Time" too. I even gave my wife a certificate once in a while for a hair style, dye job, manicure, pedicure and rub down and took over on the house.

Of course she complained for a week things were not done right or she couldn't find things! Sad
