Anyone Deal With Loss Of Friendships?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Specifically where they seem to support and understand where you're coming from and what that means realistically regarding spending time together, but then reality hits theory and/or their "patience" runs out . Or has it come to a point where it's just recognized you're not compatible because they need in-person scheduled time which is just not realistic for you due to fibro symptoms among other things health related.

Yes. Me. I thought one woman was such a great friend. She is still thrilled to hear from me and meet for lunch. But i did all the contact, never her; all the arranging, never her. She has her own world which includes our old work and she just must not be that into me. It makes me sad. It makes me wonder what kind of friend she was… Just one example.
To be fair though, there are others who were there for me during all the breast cancer crap, who have since faded away due to lack of effort on both our sides.
I am fortunate, I did keep one very fabulous friend.
But i get you. Its really really hard to be our friend. Our health just isnt reliable enough to let us be a good friend.
Sad. Hugs.

Absolutely 🙏. I just text a hello bc I hate for people to actually see me, except for family I will video. It's hard enough with this Fibro plus immune compromised plus additional health issues. It's Hour by hour. Prayers to thank God that I'm here. Try to look at the positive, but it gets lonely, just wishing I had energy to even leave the house, when I do I know I'll be in bed for days to recover. 🙏💪😓
