Ndondo, 27

I have been dealing with recurrent abscesses, a health condition that has had a significant impact on both my physical comfort and emotional well-being. These episodes can be painful, stressful, and unpredictable, often requiring treatment and time to heal. Beyond the physical discomfort, the condition has also affected my confidence and how I experience relationships with others.
One of the most difficult challenges has been the misunderstanding and stigma from some people who are hesitant to pursue a relationship because of my health condition. This has sometimes made me feel isolated and anxious about opening up to others.
