Hi Board
The appointment is only six weeks away but I am getting really scared. I am not fit to be on the road, but my job depends on driving. I really need to keep my job. My kids are 10 and 13 and teenagers are an expensive "hobbie". I cant tell anyone that I have Bleph because there has been no official diagnosis. Understanding, even from close freinds has been thin on the ground, everyone thinks that a "yoga" course will "cure me". Have others found that even close friends and family think "it is all in your head"??. I feel frightened and alone, the symptoms are getting so bad, watching TV used to soothe my eyes,like reading always has, now I can't watch anymore, it sets the bleph off. The tricks I use to relieve the symptoms only seem to make my freinds and family more worried about my "mental health". A freind asked about the condition and the cure, when I said good results were had with Botox she said "are you trying to get cosmetic treatment on the cheap?" I look forward to the day when I can be a giver on the board rather than a taker but that may be some time away so bear with me cheers essie |
