Hi all, I had a stroke alomost 8 years ago. I haven't really had a friendly chat with a survivor. I'm feeling more accepting of what has happened and what I go through daily. I have had amazing support for friends and family but I think having friends with unique but similar experiences could be benefitial for myself and them. Has anyone else felt like that too and has it made a difference for you?

My family and friends have been amazing but I feel like I am so different from my friends now.  I am no longer my old self and I struggle with that and as much as people try to understand, they can't.  I have had some of my friends for years but I feel like we no longer have things in common anymore.  I think having friends who have been through a similar experience can understand better.
