I have got involved with the Expert Patients Program which is for people with long-term illnesses and is basically like a rehab course. It is very good which is why I mention it.
Some of it is schadenfreude of course: there are people who are so much worse off than I am that it makes me feel mysteriously better.
And there is the opposite of schadenfreude where we support each other and make jokes.
And the main point of the program is the mass of information and experience of other people with long-term illness, for example the people who run the course.
They even have a website and an online version of the course http://test.nhsepp.org/public/default.aspx
