Unfortunately I have. And it's all too common for people to bail on you. It's almost like they are afraid they are going to catch this from us like it's a "bug". It's pretty sad and it shows a character weakness IMO. I know people don't want to surround themselves around negative people for too long, but they are often selfish when choosing to do so instead of lending an ear/shoulder/etc. Again, kudos to you for not being like most people out there and actively caring about him. It means a lot to those of us who suffer from chronic mental health troubles like Depression, Anxiety, etc. It definitely makes you feel less alone and isolated.

Thanks, Austin. It has definitely been hard, especially because he sometimes gets so depressed that he withdraws and doesn't want to talk, and I keep trying to draw him out. But I am determined not to bail on him. I'm sorry that it happened to you, are you in a better place now?
Good luck Soda hope it goes well for you

Good luck, Soda!
So far this year is going well for me. Except last week when Hubby and I both had the stomach flu. Horrible! Had us both down for over two days! Hope no one here gets it! :yuk:
Otherwise, I'm just working and enjoying the snow and my grandkids..... once in a while!
Dentist appointment this morning and then to the grocery store to get a couple necessities in case we have another snowstorm this weekend and I don't make it back! Managed to pick up a prescription at the pharmacy and then left it in the checkout lane later. Now I get to go back to town after work to get it!

Well, I've seen the kidney specialist. They've sent off for a bunch of blood work and I go back in February to talk about a kidney biopsy. They think it is IgA nephropathy. It can only be detected by a biopsy, but blood work can give you some indications of it being a possibility. They did look at some cells under the microscope and I have dysmorphic red blood cells in the urine, so pretty high chance of kidney disease.

I'm so sorry, Austin, that sounds terrible! What can they do about it?
I've just had a week from **** at work, so I'm happy it's the weekend, except now there's supposed to be 1-2 feet of snow this weekend, so not much of a weekend for me, I'm afraid.
