I am new to the site and having a really hard time coping with this. I've prayed and cried about this. Its destroying me as a person. I'm sad everyday, I dont know what to do!!
You need to be a member of Vitiligo Friends to add comments!
Believe me, we all feel your pain. At first, it's not so bad but as it progresses, you feel isolated and anxious all the time. But, it really does get better with time. You learn little tricks of the trade on how to cover up certain areas and you really do feel more comfortable with yourself. You will be ok and if you ever need to talk, you have plenty of people who will listen.
I understand this. I try to keep my self busy in little projects. Medidation and pary also help to get away from sadness.
And remember some day some one may be able to find solid cure for Vitiligo it is just a matter of time. Group slike Vitiligo friends will be main triggers for that. I wish all doctors especially in US recommend this site to their Vitiligo patients.
Thank you Jugnoo, I have faith that something will change just wish it was sooner then later. I try to stay busy also. Ive gotten such good information from this site. The more educated you are the less fear you have!!
i am sure everyone has ups and downs with their vit. i feel like i am me and o well what people think but i do find myself hiding it most of the time. when i worry about it or get sad it seems like it spreads more due to stess from what i have heard. i try and stay posative as much as possible.
I hope you always have brighter days to overpower any doubt or fear you feel. May your soul and your heart always fill you with love and great energy. I feel your struggle and understand it. I've dealt with Vitligo for 27 years and it's been challenging. I have great days and harder days. At the end of each day, however, I do appreciate that I'm healthy, I'm loving and loved and most importantly I'm a good human being who deserves wonderful things. I hope you'll also see your worth and let that overshadow any pain you have. Smile, love and watch the beauty of life unfold in front of you.
Hi Roya, I have really gotten so much strength from the people on this site!! I truly was at a lost before. I post a pic of myself on Facebook just the other day to show my colors ( the brown and white)!! I'm learning to except me for the beautiful person that I am!! I am really starting to be happier know that I'm not the only one who feels the way I do. Everybody around could not understand what I felt and it made me feel alone. Thank you so much for the support!!
I found this site very helpful too. It is nice to know that there are other people out there feeling the same way you did/do. I really helped me cope when I realized that my friends and those I care about like me for who I am. I realized that everyone is self conscious about something whether they want to admit it or not. And those who aren't willing to accept or get to know you just because you are missing out big time.
I know exactly how you feel. Last year I would cry so much about my skin. Especially because I'm getting married soon I am so afraid that I'm going to look weird. However, joining this site has really helped me understand that I'm not alone and that there may eventually be hope some day. Until then we can be supportive and take pride in the good things in life. I can't wait to get to know you more!
