| This site is for those who feel they don't belong, don't know where to turn, are lonely and emotionally hurting, and/or need something more than pills to swallow, books to read, and endless doctors to visit. We know there are more of "us" out there because we felt the same way when we were searching. In fact, some of us have been told we're the "worst" cases and we'll never live a "normal life again." At least, that's what the experts said, the doctors. These were such cruel words for us to hear, especially since all of us were in our prime. Depressing words that left many wondering how long we could continue to suffer on a daily basis with no hope. Suffering from pain, and other horrible symptoms, holding us down, while in our heads we heard the words, "never a normal life again." The life we had before the "monster" came. Well, all of us must have decided those words weren't good enough. That we wanted more answers, treatments, and ways to make our life as good as possible. So we searched. During our search, we, the REACHING OUT Team, became introduced to each other. This was truly a wonderful thing to happen to all of us. We began talking, laughing, finding similarities, and discussed ways to make life easier. We even began to love each other; to miss each other when gone, to help plan meetings with doctors, and give, most of all, encouragement to each other. We basically once again found two things in our lives many of us missed - hope and a sense of belonging. So knowing this, and feeling very fortunate to receive this, we decided we wanted to give others the opportunity to feel (or experience) this sense of hope and belonging as well. We are trying to give to others what has been given to us. |
