Kaposi Sarcoma

    You feel deeply ashamed of the unwanted attention your illness has drawn. Disgusted with yourself, you're painfully aware of how others react to you. You're overly sensitive to how people perceive you and resent being in this situation, feeling persecuted by the world.

    Your current environment and relationships seem to reinforce the belief that you're a bad person. As a result, you've reached a point where you just want to be left alone, pushing others away. Your suppressed anger has surfaced, and you feel deserving of punishment.

   This is a pivotal moment for you. It's time to decide whether to continue holding on to resentment. These negative emotions no longer serve you.

    Your skin condition mirrors how you feel about yourself. People's reactions to it seem to validate your deep-seated self-loathing. You've always felt unsafe in life, trying to blend in to avoid being noticed or hurt.
