How did you feel the first time you got diagnosed with vit?

Posted by Abdel Jay on August 16, 2011 at 7:54pm in Main

I remember riding my bike to the doctor's office on July 17th 2011, exactly 1 month ago, and hearing for the first time: "You have vitiligo".
I cried so bad that day and while on my way back to my house i got off my bike cause i was scared I'd kill myself. i almost lost my mind :(:(:(

    when my doctor first told me i had vit, i tried to take in calmly around my family and friends and pretend to be cool about it but at night i would just break down and cry for an hour straight. i still do sometimes but its easier now :(((((((((((((((((((

    I was actually three years old when I first got the condition. Being so young, and seeing these white patches appear on my usually really dark skin....I thought there was something really wrong with me. Since I've been diagnosed, I haven't had any treatments and life has changed so much... I've never cried over it, but I have felt outcasted. Vitiligo has almost made me completely white by now, covering my face and chest. No one would know I had it if I wore jeans and long sleeves all the time. In all honesty, I'm feeling worse now than I did when I first got it.

    Trust me. I understand, but we were chosen for some reason.....maybe it's to make us stronger! Life can throw us curves.
