"COPD as well also" (MULBERRY8)

MDJunction to me

neshama48"Having Crohn's Disease for over 26 years, in the first few years, it lonely and isolating.
Though now my disease is in a near perfect remission, my friends and family are sympathetic to me, but I can not talk to them about this disease. When I stumbled across MD Junction, and met others who had the same disease I was not alone in battling the disease. MD Junction is like a second family, without the judgement or guilt of having Crohn's Disease, but they do give you love and support.

"It's not that I never experience dark days...I just prefer to look around and find the sunhine." Shiela Burke

Sometimes I have to laugh – I used to be a worrier, I loved to sleep late, I used to get aggravated and have a very short fuse.  I even have an old t-shirt that says:  Caution.  I can go from 0 to Bitch in 2.4 seconds.

Then something changed.  I stopped caring what others thought, did and said.  I just stopped.  I came to a realization that my stress level went through the roof when that happened or when I was around certain people.  It was like a light bulb went off one day and I said, I can’t do this anymore.   I put my foot down.  I refused to subject myself to negative people, and if it were a situation where we were both required to be in the same room, I was able to handle it and leave without taking it with me internally.  It was a wonderful time in my life when I learned that.  It was also much healthier for my relationships to bring home good feelings rather than stressful ones.

I learned that it’s okay to feel bad or angry or sad sometimes, but I don’t have to dwell on it.  I can prefer to think of something more positive and pull myself out of that funk.  Just as I allowed myself to experience those negative feelings – I can just as easily allow myself to experience positive feelings.

A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul, the director of his life.
Begin at once to live, and count each separate day as a separate life.
Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.
It is a common experience that a problem difficult at night is resolved in the morning after the committee of sleep has worked on it.
