Feeling Alone |
Feb 29 2012 |
Have you ever felt like no one understands?
I know that Im not the only one with lyme, and that there are people out there in worse condition than me.
Sometimes it just feelslike I'm in it alone when everyone around you doesnt know what its like.
Being in high school and having such a debilitating illness really sucks.
I hate not being able to just be a teen, its even worse if I think about what Im missing out on. Sometimes I get so jealous of other people, especially my 14 year old sister.
I miss being able to play sports, and going out with friends. Before I got bad I volunteered at the hospital once a week for over a year, now I'm not allowed to be there.
I guess I should just be thankful that I'm not worse and that I have the family that I do. My mom is the one who pushed to get me into see a lyme specialist.
I used to have tons of friends in 8th grade but lost them all when I got sick.
i know what you mean with you sister - mine is 14 too and she gets to have tons of fun and friends and it makes me jealous.
I feel like my life has been put on hold.
at least we have these online groups to talk about it and think about how it will feel to get better!

I feel like I’m so abnormal, and I feel like my teenage years are taken, It’s sad that I’ve never had the whole teenage experience.
Seeing my brothers succeed in life with friendships and education makes me so happy but also wishing it was me.
I try to take this horrible experience and make it into something good. Like without this I wouldn’t be the person I am today, in a good way. And even though I may be missing out on such a crucial time in my life, in time when I get better I will be able to enjoy everything I do so much more then I would have if I didn’t get this.
