Yesterday was a good day. I was able to go to my woman's club luncheon. It was so great to catch up and socialize. Well, a friend there asked me to attend a birthday lunch today. I am on my period and never know when I will feel the crash of fatique, depression, physical aches, etc. Last night I started feeling really bad. I knew I couldn't attend the lunch today. I am feeling better today, but it just hit me. These women(who don't have any health issues) probably just think I'm crazy. I looked and acted so fine yesterday. I know I shouldn't care but it does bother me. It's just hard to be judged. It's hard when people don't understand. I have close friends who really never call to see how I'm feeling. Anyway, enough of a pity-party. I KNOW I have failed others in my lack of understanding of their situations. I just feel for those who have no support in their lives. I have two sisters who have never failed me. Always, totally supportive. And, of course, could not do without my friends on this site. THANKS!

I know how you feel Macyin I have \"lost\" alot of contact with several friends and even family members because of my medical problems and I hate the look when I park in the handicapped spot and I get evil eyes. Let them walk a mile in our shoes! Then they wouldnt judge. Try not to let it bother you other people think, I know its hard, but really if they care about you they will accept you for who you are.

I know exactly how you feel, I have lost touch with many so called friends since my illness it is ridiculous. Don\'t worry how others think, it is their problem not yours, just do what you can and forget what they think. I\'m sure you have better friends than that here anyway, I know I do. Have a great one and don\'t worry!
