Feeling Lonely in the Chronic Illness Community

Hi I'm new here. I'm not sure what to say but I hope this hits home for some people. I feel like the chronic illness community is really lonely. With a lot of my conditions, I'm immunocompromised and I don't leave my house often. Even though there are support groups, it feels really hard to get into them. I'm here to find some people to talk to about having some chronic illness. Thanks. :) -spooniegirl2005

I feel the same. I'm so lonely and i was never any good at making friends in the first place. We got a small dog on the advice of a therapist and he's been helpful but I need someone to talk to and relate to . You're not alone
