I don't see the doom and gloom people just reaching out for advice, or just to touch a hand that's in the same boat.
There are positive things here too. And people support and encourage others here. But this site is for people to share their real experiences. And that helps others of us who are struggling.
@A MyCOPDTeam Member, I dont see the doom and gloom, I do see the people telling it like it is. Me it may feel that I'm complaining but Im not. What I do say is whats going on with me at the time and my team may make comments on what they do in similar situations. I got most of my happenings figured out how to treat them. When nothing is going on I conjure up tidbits from my youth or something else and add some cooking tips as I used to cook in some Cafe's and small restaurants way before McDonald's ever hit the world enmass, oh and I did lots of dishes in those places. So stick around and pick your poison, err person😇😇
