At seven I was told I had over sensitive skin and to bathe in oat meal, stay indoors and don't eat sweets (really, I'm 7), I believe that's when my depression started. By my teen yrs it had gotten so bad I was having itch attacks daily, always in the hospital and ready to end it all! All through school I'd be teased, hit to see their hand print raise in my skin, chased home and called all sorts of names like freak. Now my self-esteem is low, I cant spend much time outdoors and no medication has worked, I'm just a walking ball of pain. However I look normal, but don't make me itch I joke sometimes to keep from crying, which I do often. I must say I love my skin, it glows from my diet that had to change and I try and exercise to fight my depression, so I'm hot, but it's a double edged sword. I only do what I do to fight my urticaria but I cry and itch so it's a never ending cycle. I'm tired ya know? One day God of no itching, no painful wheals, No swollen feet or eyes in thirty years is that too much to ask? God bless you all, I know and feel your pain!View Thread

I do secretly cry daily over my past but even now I get crazy looks if I have marks on my face, dont they know I'm in pain? I'm a walking ball of pain, when people or family ask how it feels I say "wet your skin, get a thin stick and hit the wet area, now do that all over", they say "wow, Im so sorry to hear that!"
My back take the worse hits everyday, Ive itched skin off and get bubbles under my feet.
Im so happy to have found this site, God bless you all!View Thread
