Hepatitis C Support Group
Hepatitis C is a blood-borne viral disease which can cause liver inflammation, fibrosis, cirrhosis and liver cancer. The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is spread by blood-to-blood contact with an infected person's blood. Many people with HCV infection have no symptoms and are unaware of the need to seek treatment. Hepatitis C infects an estimated 150-200 million people worldwide.
Hi Dear Friends,
I was watching a documentary last night about prisoners that look after patience in a hospice. Well I have to tell you what an awakening that was for me. As I was watching these criminals taking care of older criminals that are on their death bed it really got to me. To think that I wanted to take my life when these people are trying to fight for some kind of life just about mad me sick. All I could think of was how I wish I could help these people and how small my problems seemed in the grand scheme of things. For some of us dying will come all to soon. I now know that I need to concentrate on my blessings in life (boy do I have a lot of them). No more of this oh poor me. Time to get off the pity potty and get my shit together. I may not be able to help prisoners, but I can surely help a lot of people here. I have been to hell and back and I am stronger than ever. I have experienced treatment, drug issues, alcohol, depression and I am here to help now. If there is anyone out there that needs help I will be there for you.
Hugs
Debbie

thank you Debbie for sharing
When DS put me in jail...........the thing I missed most was being able to offer just a tiny bit of support to some folks. It just killed me when I would read a post and couldn't reply (like yours that night)........while I truly appreciated all the out pouring of support "I" was getting and it warmed my heart........what I missed the most was not being able to reach out just a little to others.
I find that trying to help others takes my mind off the "poor me" shit......I'm not as active as I once was.......part of that is my health....but the big thing right now is this stupid move.........once that is finally over..then boy will I have some stories to tell...and I am sure my pity pot is gonna over-flow...cause living with my MIL is prolly gonna put ME over the edge............
So...I am gonna hold you to your word....you damn well better be here for ME...........when that time comes...........LOL.
Meanwhile.........lots of others need support right now....get that outta they way so you can devote a LOT of time to me........LOL :):)
Helping others (& counting our blessings) does as much for us as for the ones we help. It lifts us up. We're all necessary on this earth.
We can all pray for others, even if we can't physically or monetarily assist.
