@Bamba,

Take heart, despite your situation, the Lord has plans for you so dont give up on your prayers, He always answers sometimes in the most unexpected ways. Be blessed sister.

The past as the name suggests is behind you!! Though it won't go away.... Matters of the heart are sort of complex because in most cases the victims FEAR the unknown and on their own they cannot initiate a friendship but that does not mean they cannot maintain a friendship. So, if you got the fear for men and you lose confidence, sweat when you want to make the first step.... then... confide in someone who you are sure will not ridicule you; a friend you grew up with, a relative, a classmate or whoever and tell them to introduce you to a friend whom you may be interested in.... for dinner in a restaurant or at home or in a sports club. This way, the person you trust will have initiated the first step... try to keep the fire burning but when overdone it can be confused with nagging. However, if this do not work out then cut your losses and move out.
The bottom line: Madam Bamba, Stop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sympathizing with your situation because sympathizing with yourself only creates a SENSE OF LIMITATION THAT YOU CAN ACHIEVE SO LITTLE or nothing.

Dear Miss Madam,
you are in this world for a purpose!
Everything will be fine.
Most important is that already you know your weakeness and your strengths.
For all that matters,someone out there loves you,not for how you look but from the kindness of your heart.
I know you are kind.
You will get out of this.
look up and smile and everything will just work out.
Prayer never fails,the results dont come when you want,its when God wants.
Dont be scared of anything.Live like nothing happened.Be positive.
i will be patiently waiting for the good news and when the bells ring,please dial my number!

Have a nice weekend and God bless you.

Hi Bamba, I have a share of my own struggles. I would recommend you watch videos of Nick Vujicic. He is a guy with no hands or feet. Watch this video on youtube NICK VUJICIC

Simply, he has no limbs but lives a complete life. Visit his website, Life without limbs. Click on this link www.lifewithoutlimbs.org

I get the feeling ur problem is not so much physical but really psychological. All these limitations are in your mind. Not body.
you say you are ugly, hopeless and have not accepted yourself to-date. That u cry when others look at you. This wallowing in the miasma of self-pity is destructive and doesn't help you at all because you become too self-conscious, very sensitive to your physical condition - a condition that makes you imagine others are looking at you in the same light. Remember people's perception of you is sana sana determined by your self-perception and how you 'carry' yourself around. Look at Vujicic, he focuses so much on the positives that people forget he's disabled and regard him as a motivational speaker. Examples are many - our local musician late King Kong a lot of pips loved his music and never knew he was disabled until they saw him or his videos. Ditto Stevie Wonder.They concentrated on what he could do.
Firstly, u need to accept yourself before others accept u.
Although you are now here now as physically disabled, there's some undertones in your thread that suggest that mentally you are still where u were (physically fit) many many years ago.
U r living & re-living in the past. Fast-forward to 2010 plse. Now!
Consider pyschological counselling at any of the many counselling centres around so that mentally/ psychologically you are sync with your physical condition.
secondly, love must be within us before it is given. U have to love yourself and this love will radiate outside, and boomerang back to you...
fourthly, just be positive and participate in many social forums to boost your confidence in addition to your studies. Mingle with like-minded disabled & non-disabled folks from the Association of Physically Disabled of Kenya,etc to cultivate a positive self-image of yourself. This will avoid u giving u all those lots of time that u spend inward-looking at yourself.
thirdly and hardest, you many slowly start to embrace the idea of singlehood and its joys positively.

Lastly, and can I be frank?:tutakuchapa ukiendelea na hii maneno ya self-pity.

@bamba, your email is moving and I see genuine concern in all Wazuans responses. I must admit I don't know how to help so I just thought it would be nice to know more about YOU rather than your condition.

You don't have to reply though...
-what is your chosen profession (occupation)?
-what would you or your pals say you are really good at (talent)?
-what do you do to relax (hobby)?

Often I marvel Stephen Hawking, quote F.D. Roosevelt, or listen to Stevie Wonder with no other thought. One day in school, our English teacher taught the difference between pretty and beautiful -- using a pretty golden flower vase with a dead flower on barren soil as compared to an ancient clay broken vase bearing a beautiful dark red rose in half bloom.

@bamba, u r the kind of pple who jolt me back to my senses. Im a perfectly normal man but there was a period I remained loveless 4 over a year....I dnt hav a family yet, so in that respect tuko wengi. Take heart, u have a beautiful heart, dnt despair, just knw u r a gift fm God to the rest of the population, a perfect example of humility n diversity of the paths life can take. Read n reread BGL's n intel's posts....then...Just...SMILE...always!

@bamba, start each day with a smile knowing that God has a great plan for you in all aspects{career, life, personal growth etc }. You are Beautiful and God's own creation. Let go of the past and approach the present with confidence and NEVER give up on pray.
Speak to yourself positive thoughts and enjoy each day. Imagine what would happen if you added a broad smile, high self-esteem and your kind heart.
