Dercums disease is a rare disease where your body rapidly constantly creates painful tumors at the end of nerves. Eventually there are so many tumors that your organs shut down. No one with Dercums disease has lived past 52. This disease is a death sentence. The only management for this disease is pain killing pills. My goal is to raise awareness and hopefully find a cure.

How I did it: I ordered an online book "Panic Away". Actually my mother ordered it and i read it. i warned her not to order it because i thought it was a scam...but it's life changing. i don't feel held back from life anymore. i still have anxiety but i haven't had a panic attack since i've read it. Read how I did it…
his emotional abuse…making me doubt myself, crushing my self esteem, my self worth. making me feel like i need him to live. needing his approval. him making me doubt myself. his own problems becoming mine. i know he’s no good but sad thing is i can’t get away
i’m 18 years old and can’t enjoy “the best years of my life” i can’t go to the movies with my friends i can’t leave my own town. i’m terrified of any change in my life. i’m the biggest hypochondriac. i always think somethings wrong with me. granted i do have many medical issues…stomach ulcers, fatal food allergies, horrible asthma, and an auto immune disease i suspect this is what causes my anxiety and panic attacks about dying. i’m terrified to take any pills beside xanax including vitamins or i hyperventilate and convince myself i’m allergic to them. I get anxiety attacks just thinking about them. when i get an attack i have compulsive thoughts that make me think i’m crazy, i can’t breathe think i’m going to suffocate to death, my vision gets blurry, i feel like i can’t grasp onto reality and that i’m slipping out of control mentally and physically. i take benedryl compulsively. i just want a normal life :(
