Posts: 3378 07/05/08 16:20 Steve Loyal Aussie Mate	HI Virginia thanks for the post, it warmed my heart. Hi Judy, Jilly, Mosken and everyone else. I know Virginia, I am sorry I don't post much, but I have had a lot of changes in my life due to health problems, which has made me become somewhat of a recluse. I have suffered from pretty bad depression which has made it difficult for me to communicate with others. The depression is mostly due to several Lupus related attacks on my body, brain and vital organs which are irreversible, and on a few occations have made me almost give up. However I am still fighting, I am back studying one subject per term at University, but am doing it all from home, as I am finding it increasingly hard to drive. I am also finding it hard to study, even with the one subject per term, but feel that if I give studying away my brain will become useless. I believe that the key to slowing the progression of any type of brain lethargy, apathy or damage caused by illness is to continue to use it. I have a couple of times thought of coming on the Friends Board and confiding in its members about how ill I am, or how depressed I have felt as Lupus has increasingly made my life a living hell, but have just not been able to, as I don't want to burden others when they are ill, and I have not been supporting them in their bad times. I have been reading at least once or twice a month, to keep up with what has been going on with people and how well the board has progressed over the years. So even though I have not posted much at all, I have been reading. For those who do not know me, my name is Steve and I live in Australia. I am married to a wonderful lady (20 years no children) who is also my Government paid carer, and I am on a disability pension. I am studying a Bachelor of Social Work degree, which is suppose to be done in 4 years if studying full time, only this is my fourth year of study and I am only just halfway through the degree. My hobbies when I can do them are photography, gardening and reading. Anyway Virginia and everyone else I must be off to bed. If you want to move this to coping I will understand.

Posts: 5509 07/06/08 00:26 Queen of Tea USA	Aw Steve we are here for you too mate. Ya know I got a two yr. degree Associates in Arts. But, it took kme three yrs. to get it. lol so son't feel too badly. I had three kids to raise when I got mine tho. Not much support from their dad. But, they were front row center when I graduated. So, I know how hard it can be with outside things wrecking havoc on your studies. Keep us informed, we love hearing from you. And too, you never know maybe we can even cheer you up some days. Take care for you and your wife. May your today, be better than yesterday, and not as good as tomorrow. God bless .

Posts: 2810 07/06/08 01:13 USA	Steve! And what have you always told me? Thou shalt NOT funk alone. you know whenever you are feeling down, or feeling bad physically, getting it off your chest is the best thing you can do, mate. That said, it's great to see ya around anytime you're up to it.

Posts: 2259 07/06/08 01:27 Jilly in UK	Steve, so sorry to hear you've been having such a bad time. These darn illnesses sure can bring us low sometimes and you wouldn't be human if you didn't get depressed about it when the lupus is making your life such a hell. But godspeed with your Degree. To have got half way through is a remarkable achievement and I'm sure you'll keep putting one foot in front of the other and make your way to the end of the course in a time frame that suits you and this horrible condition you are battling. Please take good care of yourself, and sending you all the healing vibes I can muster ..... Last Edited By: jillybromley 07/06/08 01:30. Edited 1 time.

Halfway through in four years is quite and accomplishment when you think of all the obstacles you've met healthwise. I also believe in challenging your brain to try to prevent further deprivation. I'll keep rooting for you! I have a couple of times thought of coming on the Friends Board and confiding in its members about how ill I am, or how depressed I have felt as Lupus has increasingly made my life a living hell, but have just not been able to, as I don't want to burden others when they are ill, and I have not been supporting them in their bad times. I can truly understand if you're not feeling up to posting at the board, but never ever think you're burdening us with your problems. That's what we all are here for, keep lending support in hard times. I know you've done more than your fair share during the years, so don't feel that you have too keep others up at times when you barely can keep your "nose above the water".

Posts: 3378 07/08/08 12:41 Steve Loyal Aussie Mate	Thankyou for everyone's replies, it does help to know that people care... doesn't it. Sherry I know our rule that thou shall not funk alone, and i know i have broken it However, things have just got that on top of me I had a breakdown of sorts and was not really capable of holding a cohesive conversation. The good news is I do feel a better mentally. I am lucky because I am a student, I have access to free life counselling via my University's student counsellor. She does not just speak to students who are struggling with their grades, she is also qualified to help in many other ways, and I have had 4 sessions with her over the past 2 weeks which has helped enormously. Allis thanks for allowing me the understanding to post in times of need, it is greatly appreciated and comforting to know I won't be judged for doing so. I will just have to learn to give myself permission to post, this is something that I need to work on, and I will also try to help others where or when I can. Now back to studying and reading about Power Policy and Politics I hope that turns you on as much as it does me. Best wishes and many thanks to all.

It is a place for us all to take comfort in our friendship; a place where we are accepted despite all our issues. Hugs,
