...learn to love who you became with HIV..and speak for those who cant.

Happy birthday

It all starts with you.Guilt is a normal feeling,but not good for anyone.Talk about it,and forgive yourself,then allow yourself to heal.
No one is perfect,and we all mess up in one way or the other,what matters is you recognizing you are wrong, learn from it,and work on doing better.

Cth284,
Thank you for the share & the suggestion about writing.👍
I write poetry as well as drawing & it does help with allot of things. Now as to the "other" responses to my question of "survivors guilt", I think people "misunderstood" or "don't know" what "Survivor's Guilt" is because, allot of people think it's about something I did & not what happened to me. The difficult part is over ALL of these years to know who I've lost, who they were & their value to me & society & then I think, "why them & not me?" I have struggled with this since the 80's & missing "so many" that I was honored to call my "friends" & it's been an ongoing issue for me. I thank everyone here for their effort to try & share what they think may be helpful & realized, "Survivor's Guilt" is a personal issue that I've got to come to terms with so that I can be helpful to the "living" so as to honor those I'm missing! Thank you everyone that posted, God bless you ALL!😇🙏🏻🌹🌈🦋
"I am"- grateful for ALL of you & grateful for this site!!!👍😊♥️
