Hi Mark
Welcome to the boards . You found the right place. Here we share all these thoughts and find information so we can cope better with our problems. Sorry about what you are going thru . It's extremely important that you get informed and involved in this cause , so you can feel more confident about yourself and then attract others. Try it in here . See what others do to deal with all their problems . Feel free to help them too. I have the same problem as you . I am the first one to not accept my condition , As a result , everybody else sees it like that . It's wrong . We project ourselves . So , try to take care of your psoriasis the best way you can . Very important that you find a treatment that works better in you . Then stick on it. When you are clear for long time , your confidence starts coming up again. Remember , let others love you for who you are . not the way your skin looks. If we open that door , others will feel comfortable coming in .... (i say that to myself all the time , even though is hard to believe :( )
Take care .
See you next time.
Vinny

Hey there Mark,

I'm sorry about your p. It's a pretty self conscious world nowadays, thanks to the media. :mad: You must know that beauty isn't skin deep. What really matters is who you are as a person, and that's a lot more important than appearances. There will be a girl who will fall in love with you down the road, and she won't care whether you have p or not.

And don't worry about your spelling. We got many who do that all the time here (not mentioning those two! :D)

So take care and have a great day! :)

Hi Mark

Welcome to our p family.

I am sorry to hear you are so down and depressed at the moment. I really know how that can feel, well, we all do....

I know you are self consious about your p but maybe if you try and explain to a girlfriend whats wrong, they may understand, you may be very suprised.

And Hey, what have you got to lose, as soon as you flare your gonna finish with them anyway right!!!!! please give it a try.

I hope you stick around, post some more, this place is a world of information for your p.

Hi Mark...
My name is Kelly and I have had P for seven years now...I got it when I was twenty. I just wanted to tell you not to give up...I know how hard it is. As much as P sucks...I try to think of it as a gift of some sort...that will help me find a guy (in your case a girl) who truly loves me for who I am. A kind of way to get rid of the jerks right away if they can't deal with the P. I think the hardest part for me to deal with was feeling like I was the only one in the world who had P. I have only recently started talking to other wonderful people who suffer the same way I do. So if you ever need to talk. I am here for you!

I have P and i've had it for about 10 years. Not only did I find a woman, I found the best woman, and we got married march 2004. Don't worry about it, you're going to find someone as well.

Hello Mark,
I am sorry your having a hard time. You have come to the right place. People here are wonderful, supportive and I could not do this disease without them. As far as finding love, if someone loves you, they love all of you. I know how hard it is to bare yourself to someone when you have Psoriasis. I have been married for 22 years and I still do not like him to see it. But you will find love, and when someone loves you everything else comes second. :)
