    Mr Mitch,
    I am new and just this post.
    The strength and resilience you have demonstrated are awesome to see. Go you!
    If I may, how social were you before virus? That dreaded “thing” has kept even the most social creature alone. It is difficult to embrace humanity when we are trying to all stay healthy. Please, don’t answer if you are uncomfortable.
    Just reading through your story—seeing your family support, you taking care of you and responses from here; just gives me hope for you. May the odds be ever in your favor.
    ((momhugs))

    Hi

    Thanks for the message.

    I think as times gone on, I've increasingly become less social, especially if you add covid into the mix, it just makes things more unnerving.

    I'm slowly getting better, I mean, Its still a working progress, but I'm making steps to change for the better, and coming out to my family is a big step.

    Im getting there :slight_smile:
