hello smellybin , nice to meet you to. Thank you for taking the time to send me a message. Yes the loneliness i think is worse than the condition. I try to keep my mind busy and mood positive. It’s good that you can talk about anything on here . I’m having a really good day today, up bright an early and music on . How are you doing today?

Hello @willow75 Welcome to the community. I'm only an ambulatory wheelchair user but definitely can relate to the not sleeping part!

Yeah, everything about the mental part of being ill is for me way more difficult to deal with, than the symptoms - and even those aren't easy :)

Glad you had a proper day, we need those highlights to keep us going. And even though I definitely agree with trying to be positive, the sadness is also part of life so I try to give into that as well. There is no day without a bit of both.

This morning I was glad to hear the birds singing, will Spring be here soon?
