Has anyone else ever felt very self conscious about having Hydrocephalus? Has anyone ever used it against you or hurt you mentally for having it that you feel like you have no hope in finding anyone who will accept you. As I am getting older I am feeling more and more self conscious about having hydrocephalus and the scars on my body because people ahve made fun of me for them in the past and I am finding it harder to accept it even though I have had it all my life. I have had people come up to me and ask what was up with the scars on my body and I explain it to them and then they laugh at me and keep laughing at me. Ive also ahd people come up to me and say things like you better stick with your sister all your life after your parents drop dead otherwise if your sister leaves you you will crash and burn and wind up in either a retirement hime or an insane asylum because you are not mentally stable enough and that because you have a shunt in your head you are the broken twin. These incidents have happened since my last revision 12 yaers ago and I find it hard to let it go and the last incident happened in april of this year. Anyone have any advice on how to get over this fear of being rejected or made fun of?
