Depression

This is how I feel in groups. Last Thursday in cell group, the conversation over dinner was mostly about raising children, from new babies to middle school kids. A year ago, the group was about 1/2 singles and 1/2 married men. Now, everyone has gotten married except me. I’ve tried dating a few years ago but now, with CKD and dialysis, there’s zero chance I’d meet someone that will put up with a chronic disease.

Likewise, summer is the time for vacations and travel. Many coworkers are out of the office. Every Monday, people would talk about their weekend trips while I’m usually stuck at home exhausted and tied to the cycler.
