A little more about my Complicated life

With having all of my problems in life , I havent had that much of a social life . I have only a couple true friends at the moment and i guess thats what happins . One reason why i dont have alot of friends is because of having my stroke I had to drop out of school in 9th grade. I lost all my school friends and at the moment I am studing for my G.E.D. After that I hope to get some kind of job were I can work with animals , thats what I love the most. Another thing is Ive never really had a relationship with a dude because im afraid of what guys will think when I tell them about my whole story. Sometimes my mom thinks she knows what its like to be me , but she doesn't . Thats why I hope to talk to People on here just because I just feel lost sometimes like one thing is i take over 30 pills every day 24/7 If there is anyone who takes the same amount do you ever just get tired of taking them . I mean I no they keep me alive but sometimes they drive me crazy!!!!!

I did join a website called Starbright World for chronically Ill kids, But I had a lot of problems with some of the other kids on there. I thought I had some real friends but a lot of them were fake. I now only have one best friend from there that I really trust. The friends that I had from homeschooling are completely different than I am and it's hard for them to understand as well. Anytime you want to chat just inbox me. I'm looking for some friends that know what it's like to deal with medical issues as well. (:

Comment by DebbieK on July 10, 2012 at 7:08am: Due to low self esteem issues as I am having problems with my teeth and my hair loss, my therapist reccomended that I don't date just yet. I want to, but am hesitant as I feel if they realize I have a wig and a very bulky partial they won't want me. I am going to concentrate on getting my teeth fixed and working out for the next six months and by that time I should have enough hair not to need the wig. My scars don't really bother me. It is the problem that I can't stand the smoke from cigs, bbq, and can't be outdoors in the summer heat does not leave a lot of options of places to go in New Orleans and I am afraid all the restrictions would be a turn off. Really hope to find someone in a situation similar to mine as we can help each other out. I get tired of the pills too but we need them. My doctor explained to me with tx you are trading one set of problems for another but you have a better quality of life. Well, actually you have a life you would not otherwise have. So I think the trade off is worth it.

Comment by Terry on July 8, 2012 at 5:26am: You said you like animals. Do you have a pet now. the great to get you thru times of depresion. They are also a great way to meet people, like at the dog park,wrks for me. probable be a good way to meet new guys. My dog realy got me through my transplant. it would have been harder with out him. Just saying

Comment by Mark on July 7, 2012 at 9:23pm: lol, I don't know but the cereal and milk comparison was hilarious!

Comment by Terry on July 7, 2012 at 8:37pm: I hope she knew I was kidding.!!!!!!

Comment by gail on July 7, 2012 at 6:17pm: I would suspect we all take lots of meds. I'm up to over 50 pills. (many duplicates). I wouldn't suggest putting them in milk as they start to dissolve too fast. Go for the quiet, nerdy type. Chances are they will have a greater understanding of your condition. Bad boys don't last anyway. I really do understand a bit of what your going through. I'm 58 and have lost the last 10 years. Meeting a single guy that's able to handle all this isn't easy at all.

Comment by Hostess Risé on July 5, 2012 at 10:28am: Hi Katie

I was born with a childhood illness (Cystic Fibrosis) I had to sleep in a mist ten (they no longer us that as a treatment) the tent and all the breathing treatments, coughing etc. contributed to having low self esteem. When I reached out and sort of let my feelings about myself shine through, all of the fears seemed to disappear and dating became fun.

Be careful- young guys can be jerks so choooe carefully and don't share about your health concerns right away unless you feel very comfortable. Try and look for the compassionate types rather than the super cute good looking filled with themselves attitude. I like the nerdy types now LOL Enjoy life.

Comment by Mark on July 5, 2012 at 9:03am: Katie, if you have a couple of true friends at the moment count them as blessings and hold them close. You have such a fresh and sincere writing style, expressing your thoughts straight from the heart and reaching out. That is the key ... the reaching out. Don't worry about the loss of your friends, you will make new ones. Oh and on the subject of "dudes", you must give them a chance to know you. Some will be knuckleheads but a few might end up being serious contenders. Don't sacrifice the good for the perfect :)

I have a niece who is about your age that recently had major back surgery (scoliosis). She loves animals too and was able to talk her dad into buying her a calf. Yes, a baby cow - a "steer" as she calls it. She is raising it with the assistance of the local FFA.org. Hahaha, believe me her family are not ranchers, they live in the city.
