I don't know what it's like to be deaf but I sure have compassion for the deaf. I see people that are deaf all the time and I'm warmed by the people around them who love and care for them when they help their loved one get through life.

I have lung problems and I also feel "cut off" from life at times. I don't get a lot of help from my loved ones, if anything I feel shunned at times for my breathing problems. It feels worse than having the disease. I think I've suffered more from the rejection than the disease its self.

If that's how main stream life people act, then I don't want any part of it.

Sorry to hear that carebear. How long have you suffered such pain? Are you under medication?

I take a lot of asthma medication and an antidepressant as well. I've had asthma for 16 years now and it has been very hard to say the least. When it first came on, it was chronic. I has asthma attacks all day long. People counted on me for things but when I couldn't perform, they got mad at me. Or if I asked for help they would say they would be there for me and then never show up or call again. I not only found that in my home but in my church as well. People just don't like chronically ill people from my experience.

I call it, "too sick to love."

I've grown to accept if from people and I get lonely at times but I have to stay above the game and go on with my life no matter what. I have kids who love me and need me.

Thanks for caring.

Hearing Friends is a community, a place to share and exchange experiences, ideas and information – not only if you are deaf and hard of hearing but also if you have normal hearing and are involved with family, friends or work colleagues who have hearing loss.

We each have our own very individual ways of living with hearing loss, and with the help of hearing professionals and other support groups – especially the hearing charities – we can continually add to the ideas and little tricks we use to make the best of our partial hearing.

Don't be upset, I am sure you're family is very supportive in your plight! you're not alone in this kind of illness, as long as you're regularly taking your medications , it will be cured in time.

Sorry to hear that, but for sure there is a reason why all things happens to us, we just have to know what will be our purpose for that and always keep in mind that there are other people who cares for us most.
