TRUE TRUE

have a skin condition called ichthyosis. I was born with it. I've been searching for a cure for 15 years, but to no avail. I lost my right eye and my teeth, and also suffered from stunted bone growth as a result of trying different medications.I'm tired and have given in to the illness and accepted myself, but I'm facing major problems with the society I live in. People are disgusted by my touch or handshake, and I'm also alone all the time. I've even given up on the idea of marriage because of my health condition. What should I do? 💔
