Hey all how are you...
How do you manage the depression when your vitiligo seems out of control....i am feeling really stupid that i am unable to handle this anymore...i dont know what to do..i cant concentrate on anything:-(
You need to be a member of Vitiligo Friends to add comments!
WOW !!!! you people are amazing...I have no words for the support u ppl are giving to naina...........
Naina yes dear we all face this kind of situation often in our life..try to turn them into prayers to god......try to accept yourself..
If I feel low and depressed I try to exercise (healthy body healthy mind), I cook my favorite recipies, listen to devotional messages( this helps me lot)....try out ur hobbies....ull have great days ahead..
I feel now u are in a situation...where u are struggling with ur thoughts, but I am sure this situation which u are facing now will take many steps ahead in life and give u a power to handle tough things.
Hi Sukrutha. Yes you are absolutely right. All people here are like angle. Someone has truly said that words have healing power if used right at right place. Be optimistic is a keyword.
Hello Naina I perfectly understand that feeling I think we all go through that sometime. There was times that I question my existence in this world I asked God many times why vitiligo But you go out there and see many people with the perfect body and skin more frustrated and getting pissed off over a little thing, makes you realize that everybody got something. The matter of the fact is even we did not have vitiligo we would still be pissed off of something. In my case having vitiligo gave me a lot of wisdom not that I enjoy having it but it changed the way I view the world. So cheers stay positive and good luck to all of us hopefully we will get a break soon, I am very optimistic.

you are right about the questions God ... It takes time to build up ones courage and say this is me... and I love me no matter what. This is who I am ... and it could be worse. That is what I told myself each day until it stuck!
Yes i think this is life. How beautifully we live it and how beautiful we can make it. Everyone in the world is doing the same thing in their own way. Keep smiling :-)
Hi Tedros.
I see here that everyone is so optimistic about themself. This is the thing i lack i guess. But now i feel so relax about myself that i am not alone. Its just i dont know how to live with this.
Never feel stupid. It took me a while to just go with what was happening to me. It does not matter the age it starts stops and restarts... I started young and now I remember how hard it felt to look in the mirror and think I was still pretty. I cried a lot and was brave too when folks stared at me. Think of the new model that stepped out and showed the world what we are going through... it is not normal but it is you and me and her... and them. When you get frustrated ... think of something that makes you feel proud of who you are ... you are not alone.
Hello Fatima. How are you?
I know each of us go through the same feelings. This is the reason i joined this group so that i can talk to others who know the feelings. I have never discussed this with any of my friend my family member because i fear alot. It feels so comfortable here because we know each of us know what exactly is this feeling. Thanks for replying dear.

Hi Naina, I think Tedros' words were very precise. No one is fully happy with their lives...
I recommend the following reading http://drbenkim.com/vitiligo-natural-management.htm (mostly second half).
He greatly talks about managing vitiligo and what it taught him.
