I am a 30 year old lady. I have been living with Primary lympedema for the past 15 years. I have lympedema of both legs and feet. My one leg is bigger than the other. Lymphedema is an unusual accumulation of lymph fluid in the tissues of the arms or legs of a patient due to a malfunction of the lymphatic system. There is no cure for the this condition and it causes pain. The emotional pain seems to be taking over these day.
I am mostly sad during the festive season . I feel so lonely. All my sisters are married and right now they are with their husband and kids. I am the only one who does not have a kid in my family. It hurts so bad. I am turning 30 on the 24 January. The older I get the more sad I become.
When you have a chronic condition it gets harder as one grows older.
Most of my friends are married . So this weekend I will be home alone again. Last time I dated was 6 years ago. | wish to meet someone who will love me although I have a chronic condition of lympedema.
I cried myself to sleep last night. I feely so LONELY and now that it is summer in my area, it worsens the situation.
I cant even afford MLD.
I HATE life right now, sometimes I wish I was dead.
I can't imagine how that must feel. Do you have a pet? I know that pets are not substitutes for people, but they do offer comfort and are around so you wouldn't feel alone. Praying that you will find peace and contentment.

This sounds goofy, but how about a pen pal?
