Quality of life

[Sweetsoulxo]

Will I get to have the quality of life I had before this diagnosis? Right now I all I see is darkness.

[WCSDancer2010]

Yes, but you will have to CHOOSE to come out of the darkness at some point. As I said elsewhere, right now, it's normal and even "healthy" to go through this part. Odds are H is bringing up insecurities and unprocessed negative experiences and beliefs from your past. So try to be patient with this part of the process.

 

But honey, life is 10% what happens to you and 90% what YOU make of it. So you can choose to believe that this is the end of the world for you, or you can choose to use it as a growth experience where you explore the feelings this is bringing up and then work to find ways to bring peace to those emotions. You can choose to let the stigma run your life, or you can choose to see H as a nuisance skin condition. You can avoid dating for fear of rejection, or let H be your Wingman who will show you who your REAL friends and loved ones are.

 

It's really that simple - even though it doesn't seem that way right now...

Thank you for this encouragement!! You're right it's really hard to see it this way right now.
