i feel life is coming to an end for me.

my panter don't seem to be intrested in me no sex life, is it me? am i too ugly because of my legs?

my friends just blank me and very time i ask them meet up they just say no they got something else to do.

i feel some times that i have been deleted from all forms of commuication with everybody, i just hold my head in my hands not knowning what would be the best thing for me, do i leave home to go some where no body knows me?

do i try the things i use to do to myself like i did before?

am i that ugly people just turn away?

these are some of the qestions i ask myself every day, i just feel i'm no good to no one so is this life of mine coming to the end of a deadend road?

i sit here sometime with my pills thinking about taking them but i don't!! not because i'm scared i just don't like the taste and that sick feeling as i swollow.

every day i have to live with the reminders of what happen to me 30 years ago the abuse and being set alight just hurnts me every day.

if i could i would chop of my legs and hope that would do the trick, but then i think how would i do my fishing? how would i drive?

i am only giving my life one more chance to brighten up this summer and hope things will be ok.

i'm living on the eage again.

Listen Mikey while i read that i felt literally sick because you feel like that.Your not ugly. Your legs have nothing to do with it.Most people as a relationship goes on dont bother with sex as much, its not as important as it was in the beginning, you get to know the person on the inside.Dont ever give up on anything. The abuse that occured you cant let it ruin your life you need to remember the good things in life and the bad things are in the past. They hurt still but if you need help maybe a counsellor or something do it, just talk about it and get it out there and maybe you cant fully heal your legs but you can heal yourself on the inside. Im sorry i wasnt here but i am now ok if you need to talk to someone.

I know how you feel even though mine was neglect not intentional.
Don't turn that abuse onto yourself.It must be hard for you.True friends won't turn their backs on you.Are you feeling overly sensitive or are they really doing that? I find it hard to distinguise between.
You have friends here,I hope I can be a friend to you too.

Mikey, I felt the same way for years and tried to do what you did. I wanted to cut off my face, my arms and legs because of the burns. I tried the pills too and didn't like the taste. Tried the razor too but something wouldn't let me do it. It was as if something was holding me back from doing it but I am glad that I did because I would not have the husband that I have or my two girls. You may think that you are ugly but there is somebody out there for everyone because I am ugly, feel it everyday but my family sees differently. You may think that you will never get married, have children or friends but you will. Do this "Try GOD", prayer works!

I have felt this low before. Please know it won't always be this bad. I was burned 32 years ago and I live with it everyday, with staring, comments, people outright ignoring me etc. I will never be able to convince some people that I'm worth knowing or that I'm beautiful, but I don't worry about those people. Focus on the kind people, if you don't know any now, join a church, or a burn survivor support group in your area and get out there! live YOUR life, trust me, you'll be glad you did. Also learn to laugh at yourself, that really helped me. I hope this helps, talk to a counselor, find the tools you need and never compare yourself to other people, only you can live your life, no one else is strong enough to do it for you. Warmest wishes to you and great big hug!

hun i am new here and have suffered depression for many years, you are depressed and need to speak to someone, please talk to someone soon before things get any worse, you sound like a lovely person and people like you do not deserve anymore suffering.

take care x

Mikey,
I sure hope you are on this site and can read my post. In Jan.2010, I was in an accident and suffered 3rd degree burns to my right leg and right side of my body. I know how difficult it can be living with the scars, but please remember, the scars are only superficial and the truly beautiful parts of us all comes from the inside.
I've just joined this site, but please feel free to contact me anytime....I DO understand and I DO care! ((((((Hugs))))) Jane

I feel incredibly ugly too and you are not alone.
I have learned that beauty really is only skin deep and I have actually seen uglier people than me have relationships and partners too.
I know they get friends by having a good personality and I am trying to work on mine.

I want to be your friend Mikey, you sound like a really nice person.

deleted_user 04/23/2012

I'm new to the group. I am so sorry you are feeling so blue. You should see a doctor. Depression is a terrible thing to live with. Getting exercise helps. I'm fighting it. I am burned on the upper part of my body and my face. I feel when I go out in public people look at me and feel sorry for me. I am lucky to be alive. How would you feel if you had done it to yourself as I did? I feel pretty stupid but I try to understand myself and get the help I need..

I went to the doctor a while ago to see about my allergies. He rubbed my arm and stuck things under the skin. Nothing. He poked and prodded, his phlebotomist drew so much blood people thought that we were dating. The tests all came back negative. Then one day I went back and I told him that I had found the cause of my allergy.It turns out, I am allergic to betrayal.

This isn't really bipolar related but there is never anyone on the parenting groups, this is the most active group I've been in.My 6yr old son has really bad seasonal allergies and they're in full force right now. He gets a terrible cough; he coughs all day and all night, making it hard for him to sleep, and his nose runs.I've tried every allergy medicine, OTC and RX, and none of them affect his...
