Rare diseases awareness month

I don’t often read every post in an “off-topic” thread, but this is one major exception. There are a lot of people in the community now that I haven’t talked with and I had no idea you all went through these things. Y’all are definitely stronger people than I could ever think about being.

You are such a sweetheart and you know we love you too 🥰 Never stop giving us laughs!

Oh my...

All of you stories everyone really touched my heart and teared me up a lot.

It's really sad how much all of you suffered and how many battles you are still giving everyday.

Also, it's sad that people out of real life are very mean and they don't understand and some of them even treated you so bad.

All of you are so nice and very kindhearted and...you deserved a better life than this .

I wish I could be able to cure all your pain from your hearts and I know that my words will not be enough and never be enough but...but at least, I...I understand.

How? Well, I lost my gradma from heart disease 16 years ago. Her death cause me so much pain because she was like a second mother for me and she was only 62 years old. And, still even after those years, I still miss her.

And about the bullying part, I had been bullying too because I was so kind and always the easy target since noone supported me and stood in my side. The only way to survive from those bullies is to run away like the cat with the mouse.

And...I...I...I have trouble with my anxiety. Unfortunately, I'm not brave and when I enter in new situations so sudden, I've got very nervous. I try all my best to handle it but it's not easy. I feel that my brain freezes and my heart beats a lot. The only thing can calm me in those sitiations is my favorite 80s music. When I heard it, I somehow calm.

Also when I'm home after a hard day and play CCFS, I calm too and feel happy. Somehow, i feel calm when I play this game too.

Anyway, all of you are so brave that you opened your hearts here.

It's...it's my honor of meeting all of you and I hope to meet you and in real life too and in the future.

Hi, there 🤗 @Sofia1992 You are such a dear soul ❤️ I am sorry about your grandma but I am sure she is your angel and she is taking care of you, as mine does for me 😊 As for the anxiety, you would be surprised how many people out there are struggling with it. I was one of them. It was so frightening that I couldn't enter any place with crowds. If I go to buy something I would first wait outside so I can enter the shop when no one is there. And here I am now, being an inspiration for people not only here but in real life too.

My recommendation is to talk to a psychologist and eventually you will come up to the solution. It's mostly connected to the way we process the feelings, sometimes they are stuck and we can't let them go because our mind learned that kind of behavior pattern.

Yes, we are all brave but you are too! You shared your story with us too! Thank you for being that brave 🙏🏻 Let love heal you 🥰
