Hello everyone,
It has been a long time since I first created this site, and you may have noticed the lack of posts since then. When I first started this, I was very determined to create a place where people could feel at ease and discuss their experiences with RSD in a judgment and pity free environment. To that end, I wanted to be able to at least start with some lighter stories and elements that didn't immediately fall into a category of "this is my tragedy."
I think, however, that though I meant well, I was much mistaken in my desire to not post the troubled posts from the get go. People struggling with RSD often have a lot of pent up frustration - at themselves, at the situation, at the lack of understanding- and as such it can be extremely difficult to get to the lighter side of the issue without first venting about the darker side of living with this disorder. It can also help to build trust and allow our followers to feel more comfortable with each other (a necessary step to sharing that lighter, supportive, camaraderie I was so hoping to provide) if folks can first get an understanding reaction to the barebones telling of their stories.
So, to that end, I have decided to make it a policy to post whatever stories I receive (within reason, of course) which I will do retroactively. Please feel free to spread the word, and by all means please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns!
With Love,
Kate
