Perfect Timing

I haven't been feeling well at all lately. My pain in my hips have gotten worse over the pass few days to the point of me walking with a noticeable limp. The total lack of support was starting to make me feel depressed and I was trying my best to not let that happen. I am getting a little tired of faking that I am ok, when really I'm not.. I always have a smile on my face but inside I am mad at the world. I'm mad because I want to tell people how I really feel, especially the ones I love but they won't get it. They look at me and see a smile on my face &  going about my daily activities thinking I'm ok when really I'm not. Sometimes I yearn for someone to just ask me how am I doing but that rarely happens. Sometimes I just need to know that someone actually cares. They don't even need to understand but just care!
That happened to me last night. I was about to have a pity party when I received a notification from DS that someone had sent me a hug. She wanted to know how I was doing since I had been quiet on DS and she also wanted to let me know that she was thinking of me. Wow! Perfect timing! I needed to hear that at that very moment! I needed to know that someone cared and I was not alone in this fight I battle every day. It just made me appreciate DS more so than I ever did before! I am definitely going to make more of an effort to reach out more to my fellow RA Warriors to receive support and to give support. Maybe I can be that person at the right time for someone else. Thank you so much for reaching out to me!
