I understand what you mean. It is you trying to perserve your dignity & self esteem. I, too, have went through this recently.

Don't give up. Stay positive. Find a hobby you would like to do. Enjoy your boyfriend and his attention. Healing will be slow at first. I felt the same way. Life is a challenge. We are left here to do something special. You are special and blessed because you are a survivor. Continue doing your exercises. It is very important. When you least expected you will notice your body moving better. I am now beginning to walk and the more I walk the more normal it feels. Just pretend you are on a vacation where you are sent to a spa to exercise with all these nice and sometimes cute therapist. Therapist like positive people. Live to your fullest and stay optimistic. If you want to talk I am here to listen.

i think you should have a talk to your family and boyfriend and let them know how you are felling and what are you thinking is too hard to just keep in and fest i understand at the beginning when everything went down i had a droopy face on my left side i also had a brain bleed that caused me to have a stroke when i was in therapy hey would put this electro thing it would shock my face i also had to massage my left side of my face in circular motion so my muscle in my face would regain their strength back so i did and i got my face back to normal i guess and the reason why i say it like that is because sometimes i tend to drool like i use too and tha t freaks me out si start doing the circular massages on my face if you talk to your parents about this there might be something that they can do find someone that can help you are too young to live life ed ashamed and embarrassed from the pic you posted you are a very beautiful girl and i know that your boyfriend would understand you can always ask me anything i am always home so i am on the computer alot the stroke left me with some deficits i cant use my left arm my walking is funny i walk with a cane when i go to public places cause i don't have my balance 100% but i still go to therapy and try to get it down pack i still have hope and faith that everything will go back to normal someday and you should too xox Wendy

Hi, Katrina. If I am following you correctly, you are embarassed by some form of paralysis that you have. Where is it located? Does your boyfriend know about it?
