Somehow we've got to attack the stigma and let people know that this is real, no one could make these things up, and we are not "lazy," "eccentric" or whatever words they use to ignore and/or belittle us today. I'm very glad I was able to get help and believe I can find my way out of this.

Thanks for the hug! Perfect timing, too. Lousy day today.

Best.
