As I was driving my children around this morning, I was thinking I need to write an apology letter to people on this blog. I titled a discussion recently, "First infection." I do have this infection but not everyone here needs to hear about it.
One of my new years resolution is to think positively and not let others know my negative thoughts or my aches and pains.
So what you will see from now on is positive thoughts, positive encouragement, or nothing at all.
HUGS, Rebel Mom!
Please don't stop venting here about things that are bothering you, or asking for help or information - that's what we're here for. Positive thoughts, encouragement, etc. are definitely also very welcome, but we'd all explode if we don't get the negativity we feel out as well.
I agree with Nym. This is a safe place to vent. If you keep it all to yourself, then what?
I see NO reason why you shouldn't have posted about your infection here. Sometimes it's the little things that we really need support with.
I think venting and asking for information is just as important as being positive. There is a season for everything and all things in moderation comes to mind. I know for me I have to vent and sometimes ask for info in order to be positive. Please don't stop either here, I don't want to whine all by myself here!
Rebel mom don't be silly! One of the points of this place is to vent and seek advice for our conditions. You can't talk to most of your friends about PA, but you can talk here. Your post (as always) was quite appropriate. :)
Hiya R Mom,
Don't add being too hard on yourself to your list of troubles! It's a good thing to resolve to be more positive but it's okay to vent now and again to folks who truly understand, That's one of the great things about this group... we all get each other...
A great 2013 to you!
For some of us, including myself, this is the only place where we can vent where people actually understand. Reading others posts and discussions on this website over the past year has helped me tremendously!!! It has made me realize that I'm not crazy...or alone... I have to be positive everyday..I have to keep my thoughts, fears, aches and pains to myself everyday with the people I love.. I am extremely thankful for this website and everyone on here who posts their issues.. you aren't alone, and through this site, I realized neither am I!!!
I agree with everyone else. I gave a rant the other night because I was so frustrated with my friends and family and everyone here was so supportive and positive. While I think I have had this disease for awhile, I was just recently dx and started meds so I am very new to all this. It is so much better to know that there are people out there who really know what we experience and have suggestions and ideas on how to make it better. Vent on, I'm sure it made you feel better, I know it did me!
