I am tired of being lonely because of MS
@everyone I saw a meetup in Britain I think on here because it’s recognized that people with MS tend to be lonely for obvious reasons. Well Toronto is a big area. So if your in Toronto and want to meet up or be pen pals I think that would be wonderful. It’s always more exciting to send emails back and forth with someone when there is actually some potential on the table of actually developing a friendship in real life whether it’s platonic or romantic. It is better then nothing or emailing someone on the other aside of the world when you know there is no potential of becoming real friends. Life is to short for anybody to be lonely.
@matthew79 I recommend starting a new message on shift that gets people attention, something like “anyone in Toronto want to meet up”, something that gets people’s attention, many people avoid reading about loneliness if they are already feeling low and lonely. People may also want to connect with other MSers even if they’re not lonely. Or check out your National MS society, see if they have local meet ups, the Uk one certainly does. Good luck.
@cakeangie Lol yes I think you may be on to something. That’s the Teacher in me. I tend to be to detailed & yes it can present itself as a bunch of busy work and yes terminology like lonely may keep you lonely. Lol I think there is a book of dummies for everything and I need to find one on how to find a companion when your disabled and out of work or even one that specializes in MS because it’s such a complicated disease!
