Friendship and Chronic Illness
By: Lydia Andrew
Friendships are an important part of life. Some come and go but the ones that remain or that are formed in the most challenging of circumstances, are the ones that make life worth living.
I used to think I had lots of friends. It turns out that actually I only have a few and a lot of acquaintances. That may be true for a lot of people but I think having a chronic illness, like myself, complicates relationships. Being my friend presents challenges that healthy people don’t have to consider. On a practical level,  I always have to think about any social event I’m trying to participate in and prepare in advance for. It is difficult to be carefree and spontaneous. There are always meds, kits and appointments to work with and I often have to cancel plans last minute. I carry this burden that I can be a constant disappointment. It is hard to explain the severity of my situation to anyone without feeling I am burdening them with the worry and responsibility if something were to go wrong. I long to be able to travel freely, but the reality is everything has to be planned. Having chronic illnesses makes you grow up fast and I often feel much older than my years. I worry that I am not the fun person I’d like to be or that people want me to be. Â
Given all of this, I really appreciate the friends that I do have and I am sad about the ones I have lost along the way. I think it must be hard for people to know how to play it, what to say and how to be around someone that is sick. I feel perhaps some people would rather not deal with it than have to try and think around my needs. But at the end of the day, if I am a friend worth having, communication and empathy surely is key.
Most people don’t understand how life feels on toxic medications, how could they? Invisible illnesses are perhaps the most difficult to understand.
The advice I would offer is embrace the person, don’t be frightened or offended.  I am living my life to the best of my ability and not everything around me is heavy or difficult.
I have an amazing friend that has travelled this journey with me since we were at school. She isn’t ill herself, but she is like a sister and I can always count on her for emotional support. She always goes above and beyond; we message each other most days, she cancels plans if I need to see her and understands the enormity of my situation. She doesn’t just contact me when she knows I’m ill or in the hospital. She recently sent me a message about the differences between Validation and Hope and Toxic Positivity and knowing she understands to this level, is invaluable. The important thing for me about our friendship is the normality of it. I also have a few chronically ill friends that laugh and cry with me, and no explanations is necessary… they just understand.
Below is the chart that my friend sent me from @sitwithwhit.

FUNDS RECOVERY
SCAMS CAN TAKE MANY FORMS, BUT ALL SHARE A COMMON GOAL: TAKING YOUR MONEY
Fraud can happen in many ways—whether it’s binary options scams, love scams, forex fraud, crypto investment schemes, or loan scams. If you’ve been a victim of any of these, it’s easy to feel confused and overwhelmed by the different financial institutions and legal processes involved in recovery. The journey to reclaim your stolen funds can often be frustrating and difficult to manage on your own.
The recovery process usually involves navigating complex legal and financial systems, which can be even more challenging without experience. In such cases, it’s crucial to seek professional help from a trusted firm specializing in fund recovery.
PHONE HACKING/CLONE
Working on a project like this requires precise analysis and multiple layers of security breaches to successfully gain access to or clone a target’s phone or social media accounts. This includes access to Facebook, email, fix credit scores, and school results or company databases. If you’ve ever needed a hacking service that involves breaching security and obtaining maximum access, you’re looking at the best service provider right now.
“ BE CAUTIOUS OF IMPERSONATORS AND SCAMS ”
The success of recovering your stolen funds or gaining access to a target’s device largely depends on the company you choose to work with. Unfortunately, the internet is filled with fraudulent firms posing as recovery or phone hacking services. These scammers use deceptive tactics and false promises, claiming they can recover lost funds or clone phones, but their real goal is just to take more of your money. Always be cautious and verify the credibility of any service before trusting them.
Many scammers impersonate legitimate firms and use deceptive tactics such as creating fake email addresses with numbers.
It’s essential to be vigilant and carefully select a reputable firm with proven expertise.
