I was extremely depressed when I first found out. And whenever I find a new spot, I feel down for a couple of days. Then I'm back on track. What I'm trying to say is It's not just you,and it's normal to feel that way... :)
YESSSSSS girl! But the more you accept it, you realize that there is nothing you can do about it, and with time it really gets better! This website is great because you will find people who understand because they are also going through the same thing. No matter how supportive other people are in your life they don't know how you feel. Everything you are feeling is so normal....but I promise it gets better! I decided to just go on with my life and take it one day at a time! I had weeks that I cried......now I am having weeks I don't give it a thought...I do everything I can to follow my dermatologist treatment to control it...I'm going to fight to keep it from spreading. What really helped me was going to Yoga...that's when I stopped crying about it!
Yes, I think it's VERY normal. Almost everyone here has been where you are. For me, the emotional pain has diminished, but not so much that I don't completely sympathize with what you are going through. Finding others with the same condition here has REALLY helped me.

Thank you! That makes me feel better for a while I thought I was depressed or something. :)
