I have always been an active and social woman, but a few years ago I began to suffer from a fungal infection on my feet.
This infection passed and resulted in many nightmares in my life. I was forced to avoid wearing open shoes, meaning I could no longer enjoy the summer. I was also forced to avoid wearing shoes in public, my feet were scaring people.
As a result, I started to feel insecure and isolated. I wanted to wear sneakers forever, so that no one would look at my feet.
I went through several treatments, but all of them had no solution, so I became desperate and hopeless!
I am a single and active woman, I liked going out with my friends and meeting new men. However, because of my feet, I started to be rejected by men.
One day I went to a party with my friends, I was super excited to meet a guy I had seen at a previous party. However, when he saw me in sandals, he ridiculed me in front of everyone!
He said my feet were like a beggar’s!
My friends burst out laughing…. I was humiliated in public!
I couldn’t bear it because of so much shame and humiliation…I went home crying!
I was wearing my sandals, people on the street saw me and laughed at me.
That’s when I decided to put an end to it, and the heavens smiled on me!
