My friend of 35 years is coming to stay with me Monday. She hasn't seen me since the PD. I told her but telling and seeing is 2 different things. I am anxious about her response. I fool myself to believing I am the same but it is what it is.
If you have some extra prayers, send them my way please. I want this to be a very happy visit.
On the other side my depression has lifted a lot since I last saw here years ago.
love and hugs
Jeanie

Jeanie,

It has been a month since you posted that a friend was coming who was not aware of your PD. So, how did it go? What worked for you?

You'd be surprised at how your true friends will notice but take it in with a calm and sensitive manner. Don't worry it will be alright and you will have a friend who will probably be in your life a little bit more.

My friends call me more frequently to see how I'm doing and want to talk to me.
