Just wanted to say hi after reading your post. I relate to much of what you have said and know that there is great challenge with the loneliness aspect of this condition. If it wasn't for at least reading other peoples experiences and knowing we are not alone it would be so much harder.
I stress about the contagion part too but as we've read in these pages, once we clean up on internal world the external world will take care of itself. I used to see A LOT of white things flying off me constantly and now I am definitely see much less. I also get the lesions and my face is now the worst part. It really is not fair, I get it. At least we can cover the other parts of our bodies! In saying this though, the worst place on my body used to be my lower right leg and now this is healing really well.... slowly, but now they are mostly scars and I am positive that they will fade with time & some persistence in wearing them down :)
I too have some emotional issues around this disease which I know logically are not true or correct, and like you said, we are NOT this disease, we didn't ask for it, and we should not be ashamed of it. BUT.... somewhere deep inside I have some negative emotions on this which I am working to heal also. It's good to treat our WHOLE selves, learn to love and accept ourselves as we are, and I do believe this is such an important part of our healing.
I hope you and Woofy are doing well and that you are staying strong in your journey. xx |
