Hello. After having this situation for not quite 25 years, I have finally found a way out or at least a light at the end of the tunnel.
At this point, though, I am treated like a criminal not only with my family but also with family friends and people in the community.
People are suspicious, judgmental, negative, nasty and think the worst of me. How could someone be that sick for that long?
It is definitely a form of discrimination.
The pain is unbearable from being thought so poorly of when you have not done anything to hurt anyone.
You are a taker, lazy, a loser, immature, strange, have an emotional problem, etc...
I am an honest, hard-working, ambitious, loving person but most people do not see that.
I have never stolen anything in my life and I certainly do not lie.
I am strong enough to know myself but to be treated with such disdain from every angle day in and day out is insult to injury.
I take great strength in God. I would like counseling but am unable to afford at this time.
How do you cope with the discrimination when you still rely on the same people who are hurting you for basic necessities like food, shelter, etc...? Thank you for your time.
