I keep seeing post about how other spoonies have people who were once friends but left them when they found out they were sick. I am so grateful my (admittedly small) circle of friends have stuck by me so far, even though I’ve had to cancel plans because of my UC. I feel so guilty when I’m not able to do something because I feel sick (and cancel literally the last minute) but they are always so supportive and understanding; they never ask questions, they just accept and stand by me. I am so lucky.
