Current mood: Unsure
Not really sure how to start off this blog other than just write what’s on my mind. The truth is I haven’t had much success in dating lately and I keep asking myself what is wrong with me? Is it me? Or am I attracting the wrong guys? What exactly is the problem?
After some soul searching, I think I’ve found the answer and yes it has to do with me. I think physically I’m ready to be out there dating again but mentally maybe I’m still that scared B/C Survivor who isn’t ready to share quite everything. And by everything I mean intimacy.
I guess the bottom line is, I feel like damaged goods and I’m not sure how to fix that, or if it is even fixable.
A part of me hates my body, I mean hates my body! Every morning I get out of the shower and put my body lotion on and I am quickly reminded that I’m not whole. A part of me was amputated. I know most people think of amputees as missing an arm or a leg but I had a double mastectomy and yes I feel like an amputee. Sure I’ve had reconstruction and may look whole to the outside world with my clothes on, but the truth is I have two fake boobs.
Don’t get me wrong, I am so grateful to be here and to be alive and I am damn proud to call myself a SURVIVOR!
I just feel like I’ve paid my dues and now it’s time to be happy, right? I want to feel pretty and of course every girl wants to feel sexy. So then how do I get that feeling back? How do I get past this? Do I need more time?
Will the right guy come around and make me feel special and take the damaged goods label off of me?

It is not you!
You can socialize and meet new people, cancer patients or cancer survivors, like you here at ZhLeet.com.
I will be having a bi mx with no reconstruction since I have inflammatory breast cancer. I already am dreading feeling deformed and lop-sided. Our society and even ourselves places so much of our femininity in our breasts. I hope one day you find comfort in your body.
