Your friends suffer for you truly when they hear you're ill, and care for you, and ask how you're doing. If they don't have heavy emotional investment in you , after a while though when they see that there's no quick solving (be it death or getting well) to your problem, they tire emotionally and will slowly drift apart from you . You might unconsciously scare them, mostly by reminding them that they could be in your shoes . I'm not that experienced with counseling long-term illness patients, so that's just my humble personal opinion. I’m not not sure my comment went through so I’ll post the answer here too:

But I don't know--I've not had any psych training. I am just making observations from the patient side. Can I get you to read <a HREF="http://forgingironman.blogspot.com/2007/10/deep-thoughts-on-illness-and.html/" rel="nofollow">this post</a> and tell me what you think of it? Thank you! Hi again,

I just wrote a post on what I think is a psychological issue. But I don’t know–I’ve not had any psych training. I am just making observations from the patient side.

Can I get you to read this post and tell me what you think of it?

Thank you!

I did a google search trying to find pictures of somebody impressioning a lock and somehow your picture of you working on a sink came up. I was so thinking of Mario when I saw that and then I saw you wrote that! If you don't mind, I am going to put you on my blogroll. I don't know who you are or what you do, but after the Mario thing you are definately somebody I want to read! Oh my gosh!
