Myth or Fact?

Maybe I'm odd man out. But I have not found this. I have been felt sorry for but avoided like I was contagious. In this fast paced world where you practically need an appointment to see friends or family, they don't have time for someone who needs a bit more time than average. They start by helping but the novelty wears off fast. I have a few friends that have stood by me but only the ones who understand. The ones who have family in a similar situation, or have had training. So people if your friends or family stick by you, consider yourself lucky. I haven't been.

By the way todays picture which won't stay is a model of my Grandfathers last train. It is a pacific class locomotive and is 60 inches long including tender and caboose and 13 inches high by about 5 inches wide. Every thing that is supposed to move on it moves.

Members,
 
Myth: Family and friends can’t help me with my anxiety.

Fact: Family and friends can help by offering emotional support, including understanding, patience, affection, and encouragement. Try to engage in conversation with others and listen carefully. With family and friends you can also participate in outings and activities with others and they could help you to sign up for an old activity that you used to really enjoy.
