Hey rattled 216,
I don't think it is whining when you are honest and asking for support. I find that many people don't understand because it doesn't show. I am determined to stay as positive as possible but being a human being means you get discouraged sometimes so I am glad that there are people who know what it is like and can understand. I agree that it is very important not to focus on it too much because "energy flows where attention goes" but am also finding that pretending it doesn't exist isn't working so I guess it is all about balance. I am sending prayers out to everyone because dealing with anything chronic takes courage!!! :-)
