After going through this alone with my friends living a full and active life I feel shortchanged . Watching them busy travelling yes I can admit I had some jealousy .

Now my friend woke up with nausea and her whole body in pain and was I like Thank God ! I really feel awful that I’m thinking this way but it’s just a relief that somebody else I personally know feels awful too . I’ve felt so alone in all this ... God forgive me for thinking that way .

    I saw her a month ago and she said that she had hair loss, insomnia, and night sweats. We are in the same age. I did not say a word. We will see...
