Thanks to the people that have replied to my ‘Hi I’m new” post. I appreciate the time and effort freely given by you.
I have already mentioned that I’m still pretty screwed up about the whole HIV thing. In looking for strategies to help me move forward from this point (which feels like self imposed incarceration) I thought that the forum members might be able to assist me.
Because many of you have had a wealth of experience with dealing with being HIV + I would be interested to know what the 1 or 2 main things that you did on your journey that assisted you in dealing with your diagnosis. For example, change of attitude, spirituality, new relationship, support group or medical support to name a few.
Of course the other side of the coin is probably a bit more complex. To identify the 1 or 2 main things that held you back or slowed the healing process. For example guilt, isolation, depression, substance abuse, loss of job to name a few.
I guess I may be asking the impossible question here, but I thought I would try and tap into the collective experience of the forum group.
Thanks for being there and for your interest. I hope others as well as me will be able to gain some benefit from your responses.
Cheers
Mondo
