That is so pain while everyone in the house keep a distant with you because they think it is scary, Look like you will past the disease to them. ( my mother in law doesn't want me to hug my son either). I am alone everyday with no one to talk to except my sister call me everyday on the Skype . She is very supportive but she live in America. My husband and his cruel family talk and laugh just leave me alone:( ... View more

Hi kj Thanks for your encourage . I too have a lots of support from family, but sometime I still feeling hopeless and lonely. I always ask why 'me'. I am only 39 year old. While all my friends still very active and healthy, I didn't do any bad things. I always helping people why god so unfair to me! I am very admired with people like you and everyone on the site, they are going through hard time but still so... Brave and strong to face the facts. I know we can't control anything that happen and try to convince myself to calm down. But end up I do get angry and cry everyday for a while when I have pain. ( after that I feel much better).

I always tell my husband I feel lonely and feel that I am the exceptional when I see people around me, I feel very unfair while everyone are healthy ( we are still young). I also ashamed for my scar when people stare at me . I even don't want to let my friends know by not seeing them or picking up the phone call. I think they may discriminate me... ( some friends are not that nice). My mother live in other country I don't let her know yet , she is old and I don't want her to be sad . I want to look for supporting group which we can meet each other in the same situation so I don't feel I am the exceptional. Do u have the same feeling? ... View more
