I am really conscious about how I walk recently. I can no longer hide my gait.
I’m worried about kids making fun of me because a student recently died by suicide here in Korea after being made fun of by other students because she had depression.
Although my psychosis has gone into remission, I’m really conscious about my physical disease showing itself in public. I’ve been always able to hide it in some degrees but now I can’t hide it at all.
How do I not feel conscious about my body or how I walk? I’m really worried about how others see me and it has been screwing up my self-esteem. I’m worried about getting bullied again.
Wow, that’s really sad hearing that. That’s too bad. The first thing that comes into my mind is that whenever you go out in public be dressed well and be well groomed. That might mitagate the negative attention.
I also have issues with my walking. I fractured my foot when I was younger and even since I’ve walked with my feet facing inwards. People have taken the mick out of it before but it’s just the way I walk. I can’t help it and it actually hurts to consciously walk straight footed. I hope you’re okay
That’s what I am planning. My mom tells me that I need to dress well in order to mitigate the negative attention. People stare at me all the time and it’s really frustrating. My mom is super worried right now and I feel bad for worrying her. I just want to stop being physically ill.
I’m alright, just really hurting due to my illness. Every day is painful. Not psychologically, but physically. I’m in pain all day, everyday. It’s really challenging.
I had really bad backpain(arthritis). Every move was painful, so i studied arthritis and i am almost painfree. I don’t know if this is helpful. They are painclinics around here. Nobody should live in pain. Ofc, it all depends if the doctors want you to suffer or not.
Can you see a pain management specialist? They have them here in the USA. I think dressing well is a good idea. Just remember anyone who makes fun of your walk isn’t worth your time and thoughts at all. They’re not good people. They don’t matter.
