I live in Southern New Hampshire, about 20 mins from the Massachusetts border via Rt 93. I could travel either to Mass, which I know best (since I grew up there) or North, further into New Hampshire.
I'm looking for a quality friend or just someone, even suicidal, to talk to about our disorders. My friendships with "normal" people are weak, as they are either afraid of me, *still* don't understand my illness, or think they have to treat me special, or just are just selfish jerks, who can't find the time to write a 2 min email to ask how I'm doing, or meet halfway and go out to eat, etc. I ask and I ask till I'm blue in the face, and no "friend" I have will set any time away in their schedule for me. It's enough to want to give up on the human race all together. I won't even tell you how dating has gone...
If this were to be an attractive woman around 30, even better!! - my marriage is failing and I'm now separated and extremely lonely, even living in the same house as her (we're separated). I can send you a picture and such from my match.com account, including bio. ;) Truth is, I've never been "in-love" with my wife, so I've truly been lonely for years, and affection free (which is something I feel I need to survive my illness)
But anyone, male or female, my main goal is to talk to someone who suffers with this illness. My friend with Lyme disease is probably my best friend now because everyone else abandoned him, just like they did to me. I won't give up on him, and he won't give up on me, but he lives too far away for visits and is too sick to really "go out".
Thanks for reading.
Just trying to live another day, V.
