Re: Tired of living like a hermit

The trouble is as you know this condition is restrictive.. so no matter how much one might try it's always there and never fully goes away.. it's like being in a relationship when you don't really love the other person.. the same could be said for life.. you can't live without EC holding you back. I like to think that far from shying away from life I am actually a lot mentally stronger than the majority of people. Plenty of people would have thrown themselves under a train or retired from life completely.. I maintain a basic level of functionality.. of course it's impossible for me to feel natural or attractive with a condition like this. My problems don't end at my EC, it's my other skin conditions which aggrevate things even more. I think anxiety and self-conciousness is a natural way to feel and a reasonable way to feel when you have something which is on show all the time. Spending enough time on this I'm convinced will get me somewhere - we can focus on the people that have cured their EC and take clues from the factors they mention that contributed to them being cured Tweet
