I guess I have needed to hear this. It was never my intention to offend anyone. When you’re in my position, everything hurts including your feelings. I tried to hide it, but it’s impossible. If you’re not chipper in sunshine and happy and people avoid you so you have to pretend for the rest of your short, miserable life that you’re happy And I am trying. I’m just so sad thank you for your beautiful words. Maria.

I'm glad you are able to be honest with us here. Your posts are very touching. I almost died when I was 21 and now have a rare difficult to treat breast cancer. Both times some people in my life tried to make it my fault--caused by something I did. In the intervening decades my journey was AWAY from blame and self-hatred. Easier said than done, however. So today I am just sending you support and caring. Is there anything or anybody in your life right now that can help the real you?
