Just wanted to you all thank you!<3 «123...Next Go

I know you guys see me around a lot but I never said why...For the past year at the age of 24 now 25 I have battled a serious lung disease called aspergillus that has no cure. I have been hospitalized 9 times since last year. During this time I found myself playing TS4 a lot as it always gave me an escape from the reality I am dealing with even if it is only a temporary peace of mind. There are some days I cannot get out of bed but my kids are my reasons for steadily pushing through.

So to make a long story short you guys in a way give me a boost too. Every topic I post you guys give me a good lot of responses. You also give me many laughs too lol. So even as strangers who do not know me from a can of paint it means alot. So thank you<3. And I'm sorry I may irk some of you with my constant posting

I can relate 3xs cancer and Sims helped me pull through husband has terminal brain cancer glioblastoma and I am caregiver. Computer aught fire,and took the top floor of my house. I have had the Sims to help me stay sane and pull through.
Hope you begin to feel better. Keep playing the distraction helps.
And please no thanks are necessary we all need the outlet
Glad this game and forum are there for you.
Blessings

God bless both of you. I'm glad the sims could be there for you to take your minds off reality, if only for a little while.

@hunniboo1 Please don't apologize. It's posters like you who help to keep this forum going. I check here everyday to see what's new. It's also a way for me to learn some things I've yet to come across as I play my game. I play this game to relax, primarily, but it also helped as I was convalescing from a ruptured brain aneurysm. I do hope you and jimmysnan keep your spirits up and that you both find yourselves in better health, soon.

Many of us have been there/done that/got the T-shirt. The Sims 4 gives many of us a chance at a sense of control when life is out of control. Just do what you can where you are, and we'll all be there cheering you on.

@jimmysnan : oh dear my heart breaks for you...one thing I have learned is that you never know how strong you can be until it is time<3

@bshag4lv: thank you so much

@GalacticGal: thank you love and it's good to know this game can be an escape for others as well. I try to post what I can as long as I know it will be a good topic lol.

It does not have to be a good topic we love having others to talk to and share. I can't say it is strength on my part basically it is necessary.
My cancer is in remission. My husband's not so much he cannot walk but has outlived the 18 months they gave him.
We just have to stay optimistic.
This games target audience is for a lot younger than me (70) but it seems to help all ages and people to overcome a lot of problems. Post here whenever and on my wall to say hi. I care how you are doing

I love seeing people so active on the forums. While my story is nothing compared to anyone here, I've found myself falling in love with the community I'm finding here on the forums. I understand a lot of people probably only see the negative threads, but there is a wealth of beautiful stories and such to find in these forums, so if it's bringing you some peace, please, continue. Your being here is bringing joy to anyone you're interacting with here, myself very much included. I keep coming back because every day is something new and wonderful, and this is filling a void in my life that I was beginning to think would always be a void. So thank you.

ParmaViolet87

I absolutely love your threads and posts!

The Sims is a big escape for me too. Keep on threadin' and Simming!

Hermitgirl

You've started a lot of really good threads.. Dear Little Sims made me out loud a few times and there have been others. If it distracts you and keeps you occupied (like the game can) when you need it ...use it. Many of us me included have used the sims and the forums to weather storms in our lives.
Sending you good wishes from this simmer.

@hunniboo1 I enjoy your posts and I think it's a lovely contribution of positivity to the forums. I'm glad to hear that you get some much-needed boosts of optimism from us. Feel free to keep on sharing.

I wish you the very best of health, and may you always have the strength to persevere.

@jimmysnan I'm sorry you're going through so much. It sounds like you both have come very far with your health battles. May you and your husband continue to beat the odds and live on in happiness.

Peace and hugs to you all.

I hope you get past it. It's nice that you find solace in the game and on these forums (even if things can get heated sometimes, lol)

And hey, I know we're not supposed to talk about these things here, but we're more or less the same age.

SikoahGrace

I get you 100%. As someone who was diagnosed with a rare liver disease (genetic) I support you all the way. Keep posting and playing and no need to apologize. By the out pouring of kind words here know you have a community of people of people you have never met IRL standing behind you all the way. Blessings.

I also look forward to your posts, and glad that you are on this forum! As others have said, there are some negative ones that can really make this forum less appealing so I'm glad there are people like you here and share your appreciation for this game. Best wishes!

lsnishi

@hunniboo1 and @jimmysnan, you both have all of my good thoughts and wishes going out to you! I'm glad the sims lightens you day and troubles. I understand that completely, I just finished chemo for cancer and I know playing and especially building stuff in the sims helped keep me sane and functional. Hugs to you both!
