I have difficulty socializing at all, and have no friends anymore. I dont complain and I don't tell anyone how I really feel. I tried in the past and my family just doesn't understand, nor does my husband so I remain quiet. Now that I'm working on my 6th year living like this I have dental problems from grinding my teeth, and stomach & esophagus problems from to much acid in my stomach from being in chronic pain. I think the reason I have trouble making friends is that people can see "pain" written all over my face so they stay away. Also I have trouble relating to anyone anymore since I am the only one who is like this in my little world. Its hard to "just be me" cause the "me" is drowning in pain most of the time and inbetween pain periods I am exhausted and recovering, like sleeping or getting caught up on stuff since I've been in bed. I've found myself caught in a horrible cycle that I am having trouble breaking out of. Can anyone help? or give me any advice on how I can get out of this isolated type of living? I feel like a hermit. I had a serious accident 6 years ago and have multiple cervical herniated discs that cause severe pain. I have difficulty socializing at all, and have no friends anymore.

I know I tried for years to pretend that I didn't have any health problems. (I have a Muscular Dystrophy, well really it's an atrophy but we won't go there right now.) Though I could fool some people, what good was that doing? Once they believed I was fine, I could never be myself around them. I think with age though, we learn that it doesn't really matter what others think. So, we get a few close and strong friends who really know us and that's all we need. PS - I changed my blog name/URL. Could I get you to change it on your blogroll? It was Your Best Life, but now it's Vibrant Healthy U and it's at http://www.VibrantHealthyU.com. Thanks!
