Carried: Impetigo (Contagious virus-based skin lesions)
“It feels like I've been singled out for the worst of it, picked from above for a rougher deal than anyone else.”
It runs as a sense of being singled out for suffering, a why-me conviction that the very order of things has picked the person out for a rougher deal, a mark set on them from above. It is not baseless: an abusive, rejecting family did in fact single them out, and the pattern generalises that to the cosmos. The clinical name is a shape, not a diagnosis. What it asks for is to separate the family's singling-out from the whole order of things.
The man born blind, whom everyone asked what he or his parents had done to deserve it, carrying the whole world's assumption that his affliction was a mark against him. The form implies a task: to let the affliction not be a verdict.
