Thoughts from people feeling alone about psoriasis

...feeling alone Mary @marymayseo

What should I do if I hate my family?They don’t support me and can’t understand that sometimes I’m angry because i feel discomfort or feel empty because nothing helpsThey just yell at me but when I say that I feel bad they pretend that I don't exist

My girlfriend doesn't get it. She doesn't understand how I could go through life feeling like a monster, how I can't just say "Screw what others think". She doesn't get that P isn't "Just a skin condition"

I think the most difficult thing I've had to deal with since getting psoriasis is my declining love life. My relationship wasn't exactly a romance novel but it was pretty good. Now, I have literally nothing but myself. I'm still surviving but barely.

Been away mostly for a couple of weeks. P in my spine has been acting up horribly. Not able to move much. Feeling a bit better today, but then it flared up all over my skin if you call it that. I'm 70% cover at the best of times for 5 yrs now. Ugh.
