I am sorry to hear that you are feeling this way.  It's no fun feeling like you do. I won't go into great detail, but I also have a disease that has caused me to take meds that has caused me to suppress my anti bodies, basically I have no immune system. I am totally vaccinated and always wear a mask. There are days I don't feel like going out, but I found I have to as Dh doesn't go like he use to either. Try to keep as active as you can and keep in touch with others. That's very important. It is good you have your hubby too. I know it's a tough road, but just by reaching out to your Q family and getting things off your chest is the right direction. My prayers go out to you.

I am sorry you are having such a hard time.  I hope the therapist can help you.  My 16 year old niece, with no health issues, is having a hard time too.  These lockdowns did a number on many young people.

I am very sorry that you have to deal with this disease, as I am sure it is very draining physically and emotionally.  This virus thing has hit many of us so hard.  People who are blessed with good health or relatively good health don't realize how this thing has impacted those of us who do not have good health.  You want to go out and do things and see people but you have to be careful.  It does make you feel isolated and lonely.  All I can do is have empathy for you and let you know that there are many others who feel as you do.  I am blessed as you are in that I have a wonderful husband and don't know what I would do without him.  At times, my faith is all that gets me through.  Faith and hope for better days!

I learned decades ago that there is no material thing or any other person that can make me happy. The only one responsible for my sadness or happiness? That would be me, regardless of life's circumstances.

Yes, I have been there!

@I am still oxox  I wanted to post to you earlier and couldn't get on QVC. It's never easy to get over being sick or being limited in our bodies but, I have found, my mind can still be free and go where it wants.  I am truly convinced, it is my faith that gets me through the hard times. I couldn't do it alone. I prayed for you today.

What an honest and realistic post. I have a lot of health problems that kept me from enjoying life before the pandemic. Then it hit and suddenly I was isolated. I am married so I have a good husband. I do an inperson book club and all the ladies talked about being isolated and alone one meeting. ALL OF US. I would encourage you to read good books and join the book club at your public library. Many people listen to audio books which public libraries also have. I do book clubs with people who have vision loss on zoom called accessible world (look at their website). I would also encourage you to get outside and walk some, every day if you can. Yes, I know you have pain but just doing things makes us feel productive and being outside is good for depression. Make sure your Vitamin D level is checked yearly and is "high enough".
