Ah, I see. Your first Post was in the Ladies Room and I'm too much of a Gentleman to peek in there. So I didn't get to read your post.
C'mon girls, how come there are unanswered posts in the Ladies? Eh?
Its not always easy doing this stuff without a bit of a friendly shoulder to lean on from time to time, so I hope that manage to find ways to lessen the load from time to time.?

Hi there TL
I am mylife, and have had a shocking couple of days...so haven't been my usual nosey self on this site.
You will see I normally post and reply to most things here - only because I am nosey you see.
You are only a year younger than me, and I know it will be hard for you. I struggle with this myself and was diagnosed only a month - 6 weeks ago.
Fortunatly for me I do have a very supportive partner and can only imagine how much harder this would be for you with out a support partner at home. Do you have a really good friend you can call when you feel low? Perhaps you could both start a hobby or sport where you will meet new people.
I really hate the crying part, it makes me feel weak but I figure that it is just part in parcel of it all. I just have to accept it, which is painful.
I am proud of you posting here. It takes alot of nerve to start talking - even through a machine. But it does help, and I don't judge, never.
Perhaps you might like to start up your own thread, full of your thoughts, both good and bad? Would that help? Slap a DO NOT REPLY on it if you feel like it (and hopefully people will adhere to it).
I found that very useful when I started up my jnl.
Please feel free to chat! and for goodness sake, stick around!!

Re: genaral
Hi traceylee ... it is hard to meet people sometimes - I've lived in many different places. The last place I lived in I knew it would take ages to meet enough women of my own age group - so - I had a wee think and ended up putting an article in the local paper saying I was looking for girlfriends - well that is how the reporter worded it. I knew there were quite a few people had been moving to the area. I had many phone calls - we met at a coffee shop, and met each week for coffee - the group then expanded into going out for lunch once a month, some learnt to play Mah Jong, we visited gardens, formed a 'book club' - which ended up chatting and having coffee or tea more than about books! My message here is 'Don't be the one to sit by the fire - be the one to light the fire' ...! I used that little gem because I knew that 'if it is to be, it's up to me' (Some 'slogans' I've found handy).
I'm not saying you should do what I did but sometimes one has to move out of a 'comfort zone' to make changes. I have also taken part in workshops, courses and the like, to expand my world.
It's not easy to do something different sometimes, but I hope I've given you some food for thought!
Good to have you here ........ Daze
