    I wish this didn't happen, it's not good for you or anyone to feel this way. In my mind I will keeping pushing and pushing myself to find ways to be social and be with friends like you 🥰

    Thank you for this video. Not too many people understand disabilities and how hard it is to get out of the house. We spend holidays alone now, most of them don't understand. The (Normies)!! You are funny and you make me laugh. You have beautiful eyes.❤❤❤

    I started self isolating several years prior to my diagnosis. Leaving home is so tiring, sometimes it’s not worth it.

    JMac,aka Whale Tail!! I feel the same, most people with PD will feel the same as the disease progresses. It is very tough. Thx for sharing buddy! See you on the next one!

      We should set up a zoom to give my viewers an update on your DBS. I have had some questions about you.😎

    Hanging out with friends can sometimes be draining. I sometimes force myself to hangout cause I know I need to keep socially active and in the end, I usually have a good time. So far my symptoms are not interfering. I’m sorry yours seem to keep you at home. I’ll pray for you.

    If I’m not careful, I find myself slipping into the isolation hole. I was KO’d by Covid for a few weeks so I couldn’t leave the house. Days turned weeks, months…I eventually became agoraphobic, leaving the house only to get mail. It took me a couple of months of pushing through that blanket of depression and anxiety to get back to the gym and back to PT appointments.
    What a shitty disease to have.
    I cannot wait for my DBS in February!!!

    Hi Jeremy! I will check out freaks and geeks! I like to invite friends and family for a walk with me. Since I do it every day and I can just say what time might be best according to recent routine and that I appreciate them because I might need them to be flexible with the time. Then I’m off the hook 😂

      I usually go walking with my wife on son on the weekends and solo during the week. Let me know what you think about Freaks and Geeks!

    Not so long ago my wife found that I was retiring to my corner that I was less in contact with her than I isolated myself...fortunately it has replaced and it is better

    I think I’m self conscious about my drool when I’m in others company. It’s probably not as noticeable to others, but I am slow to respond because I have to swallow hard first. 😂 it’s crazy!!! 🤪
