HOW TO DEAL WITH THIS EMOTIONAL ROLLER-COASTER WE CALL LOVE.
Chronic diseasePosted on 10/17/09, 09:42 am
I am 27 years old and have been living with lympedema of both feet for the past 12 years. This is a condition that results from either chemotherapy or either one is born with it. I was born with under developed lymph system and that has resulted in the swelling of both of my feet and legs and it causes pain. Being a woman at that age with this condition has made my dating life sooo difficult. My boyfriend broke up with me 2 years ago because of my condition and have not dated ever since. I wonder if anyone will ever like me and knowing that i will be like that for the rest of my life ,it is killing,. I am so lonely everyone needs someone to love. The thought of starting a family one day scares because preganancy makes the condition worse. Is any one out there going through the same.
This condition had such a huge impact in my life. I feel like there is a void from within. My friends of the same age are either married or in a stable relationships.
Thank you for listening.

Maybe you can meet people with the same condition as you, this way you won't feel like your the one who is different. Spending time with people with the same condition may also help you and you can help them. Being with someone who understands you 100% can really help you be in a happy relationship.
