Here is a silly question? Have any of you out here been at a doctors office and out of the blue you start talking to everyone in the waiting room about what is going on with them ....then you end up on the "I got this and it does this" and to everyone "have you tired this" that happend to me today and I was the one that started it!!! omg...I finally said at the end of our conversation..."we just had a group Meeting"! wow.....thoughts
I work at doctors office or clinic and I see it happen all the time. we have no tv's so patients just start talking and laughing with each other it's nice. It is nice to interact with people who don't know you or don't judge you. like you said group therapy!
My first trip to Boston when I had just been diagnosed I met a wonderful woman named Theresa in the waiting room, within about 4 seconds we both began telling each other what was going on, she reached into her purse, pulled out a little gold vile of Padre Pio's oil and gave it to me for protection and healing and by the end of our chat we were crying in each others arms like we had known each other for years!! Everyone else in the waiting room just sat there dumbfounded!! So was my now ex husband... he just shook his head and rolled his eyes!!
I always wished I'd given her my email, she was too cool and a real sweetheart but the answer is... YES!!
But I speak to strangers everywhere I go, they flock to me!! haha
I think it's really good to share, strangers are friends you just haven't met yet!! It's nice to compare notes!
I say keep that up, it's good for everyone!!
Hugs!!
