daisylane Posted September 1, 2013 Posted September 1, 2013 (edited) Hi, I just joined this site and I look forward to making new connections. I hope I'm posting in the right section. A little bit about me: I'm a woman in her mid 20s and I've been dealing with quite a lot of health problems in the past couple of years, which resulted in me withdrawing from my friends. I used to be a socially active, energetic person who worked part-time, went to college full-time and loved traveling and being involved in the community. However from one day to another I became ill (much later on I learned I had developed chronic fatigue syndrome after having contracted a viral infection). I had to withdraw from college and my job in order to focus on my health. It's been quite an intense journey (not going to go into details but if anyone is interested feel free to ask) and I'm far from being 100% ready to start working again but I'm hoping to get there soon. One of the toughest things for me is the self inflicted isolation. This is why I decided to join this forum, in order to meet new people and hopefully contribute to the community as well. It would be interesting to talk to people who have been through similar experiences, but I'm open to meet different kinds of people. Whether you would like to discuss the news, just talk or rant..I'm here to listen Thanks for reading this. Edited September 1, 2013 by daisylane

Babolat Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Welcome daisylane! I think all of us have our journies in life, certainly sounds like you are on one of yours! I am happy to offer advice where and when I can. I am 47, a tad older than you, maybe a tad wiser, but who knows, so let me know if I can help. And kudos to you for being a survivor.
Toddbt12y1 Posted September 3, 2013 Posted September 3, 2013 Welcome to Loveshack. I look forward to your advice. I look forward to giving you advice, if needed. I am glad you have come through all this strongly. I am sure you will find friends here.
The Introvert Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Hie Daisylane, I think I became familiar with you fast because of your great input in one of my recent threads, I actually loved that...thanks. I am happy you are getting to your feet and I believe you will get there fast.See, in life some people are crushed by life's burdens and walk away miserable having learnt or achieved nothing, I think it's up to us to start from there and build something great....enjoy your stay!
amaysngrace Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 I've heard that when the physical side of a person becomes impaired it will make room for their mental and spiritual side to grow. Welcome to LS
white Posted September 4, 2013 Posted September 4, 2013 Hi. Consider reconnecting with your friends - at 25 it is not too late even if you haven't spoken since your teens, sometimes I meet old friends I haven't met in a decade and get on like we were never apart. I know how isolating your situation can be. Have you heard of meetup.com? Have a look at it.
