From the pages of TD...
"It's so amazing to hear from so many people who support me, yet haven't met me!"
“This site makes me feel better, I don’t talk about my disease or my pain with very
many people. This is a great forum for me to tell the truth without feeling like
I am putting a burden on anyone.”
“It’s always a comfort to me when sharing my diaries makes a difference and just
having the opportunity to share my thoughts makes me feel better.”
“I’m not in the mood to talk with my family or the few friends I have. I think I
just want to be heard and want to know I am not the only one who is going through
this...”
“Writing/journaling has always been a way for me to get things out and since I’ve
been diagnosed, I often find it hard to discuss my pain and other symptoms with
my family and friends. It is so nice to have someplace to go where I know others
will understand and not have to worry about judgment or doubt.”
“It is hard when the ones closest to you don’t really want to talk about it...it
is really sad...but I think through the help of a website like this we can all get
through this together.”
“Just being able to be supportive of other people on this site helps my mental attitude
and the support and friendship people offer is tremendous.”
“Thanks for sharing and hopefully inspiring those of us who, at times feel at wits
end that we have the power to help ourselves. Something so simple can have so much
impact in so many ways.”
“Thank you for letting me talk in words that I have a hard time saying out loud.”
“You give us a gift when you allow us to be an ear to listen, a shoulder to cry
on, a joke away to share a laugh, my heart goes out to you because I see my mother
in you and I want to prevent your tears but I know I can’t.....in closing I’ll say
this please keep coming back, let us pour our love on you. We are here for you!”
