Hi Marianna!
Welcome to the group! I am so sorry to hear about how you're feeling! I
know what you mean, though about being sick of people! And there are a lot of
times whien I think I'm going crazy, too! I know my husband thinks I'm crazy
sometimes! =) My favorite is when people ask me if its "that time of the
month"...yeah, today and EVERYDAY, buddy! It doesn't end for me! And a girl at
my work asked me if I was having "crampies". Sorry, darling, I don't get
"crampies", I get "stay- in- bed- if- you- know- what's- good- for- you- pain".
I hope things get better for you! Doesn't it feel good to talk to others
who experience exactly what you're going through?
