I will admit that it is very tough having a neurological disease and no way of curing it is truly disturbing. What helps me with my sanity is having my wife and kids. They help in a big way.

Hello everyone, how are you doing?
Living with a chronic illness can sometimes make it difficult to maintain social connections, and for many people, it might also affect the ability to form new friendships. Between managing symptoms, doctor's appointments, and the emotional weight of the illness, there can be days when it feels like there’s less energy or time for socializing. 😔
Some people might feel self-conscious or worry about being a “burden” to new friends because of their health needs. On the other hand, many of us find that chronic illness has helped us develop deeper, more meaningful relationships with people who truly understand and support us. 💙
How about you? Do you find it harder to make new friends due to your condition? Or have you found ways to overcome this challenge and build connections despite the obstacles?
