So I need a support group to help me, I think.

My husband is getting tired of listening to me whine. My friend are creeping away.

I'm on costline of CT...looking for lymies who are whining together. [dizzy]

Chere took over Kathleen's support group and, last I knew, it was in Lyme/Old Lyme. I'm surprised it's not listed in the support groups on the left. It may not be in existance anymore.

You said you wanted other people to whine with. I'm not into whining that much, so I don't know about groups that whine, but if you want to do something constructive with your anger and discouragement, I know Time for Lyme does great work and would welcome more help. If you're interested, contact me and I'll give you some names and numbers.

Human,

I know that early on in my treatment I was really confounded by the complicated nature of this disease -- how my feelings and symptoms shifted. I also felt overhelmed sometimes and depressed.

My SO was patient but that only stretches so far.

I found a therapist, made an appointment and set up twice-monthly appointments. Basically, I just needed to vent about my experiences and didn't feel I had the stamina to do any sort of volunteer type work.

Since my insurance covered the doc, it didn't cost much at all.

Hope this helps!

Andie
