Love did you use to be X-Woman?
When I showed my husband your picture, he did a double take because of your eyes. Your face is beautiful, yes, but your eyes show the soul, and he said that they were more attractive than seeing your whole body.
Young people are shallow, and have not yet learned to seek the beauty within a person. My son has the begining stages of the same disease along his palms and wrists, but he told me that there may come a day it spreads to his body, and when it comes it comes. He has rejected medicines or treatment although the docters asked him if he was interested in them. He told them that it was part of who he was and if other people found it discomforting than it was their problem not his.
I grew up seriously obese and it has taken me many years to accept my body and it's flaws. It has taken my husband many years of working with me to help me do this. I am now a happy size 18 who is healthy and active. My body IS dumpy, but now when I look in the mirror I don't see a fat cow looking at me, but the body of a woman who is a mother and lover. I find it beautiful in its uniqueness. My daughter who is 13 has a body that some grown woman would die to have. Think of a hispanic/italian Marilynn Monroe.
I was almost 21 before I had my first "boyfriend." Other guys either rejected me because of my shape and size or because of the insecurities I had with myself that prevented me from "opening up" to people. This was one of the things that hindered me from attending my prom also. I use to spend half an hour putting on makeup, although I can say you may have more of a reason to than I do, but with the acceptance of my body came the acceptance of my bad skin scarred by acne.
If medicine has not helped it maybe that it was meant to be. I don't try to sound like this is hopeless, because it isn't. I do believe that beauty comes from within, and if your eyes are any indication than you are indeed a VERY beautiful person in deed.
I do believe that there is a such thing as spiritual healing, and I do believe it works, but I also believe that at some point you chose this path before you were born. I believe that in not seeking a "cure" for this "but in accepting you as you," you will not only find spiritual healing, but also emotional and mental healing.
I can understand your confusion and pain, although our situations are completely different, and I wish I could give you what you seek. We are only human though and our powers and knowledge are limited.
I do believe that oneday you will find the answer(s) though, and that you will find someone who will love you completely, not just see you as the "chick with spots." That is harsh! I also believe that you will find happiness within and outside yourself. Some changes do not occur overnight, or a few months. They literally will take years, and sometimes the only answer is the acceptance of one's self.
Whatever the outcome may be my thoughts and prayers will be with you. I hope that somebody will guide you thru the thickest and the thin, and will pray that your situation will turn out well. You have been thru this much pain and turmoil for so many years!! My heart goes out to you. Indeed I was right when I said you are a strong woman, because you are, and I pray that you will continue finding your strength in you and another person.
Blessed be, Love.
don't worry so much about appearance. character is so much more attractive. i'm sure you're beautiful.
Spiritual healing is a form of positive belief. The more you believe, the greater the benefits you can reap. Although individual cases can vary, spiritual healing can enable you to find solace in your moments of dispair.
Praying is not going to get rid of your spots because magic is not real.
I suggest finding people who are less shallow.
I would talk to a Reiki (pronounced Ray-key) practioner.
I'm not sure if it works for vitiligo, but it works for a multitude of other things so it wouldn't hurt to talk to them about this. Look in your yellow pages under alternative medicine or holistic practioners. Basically a reiki therapist will put their hands on you and kind of meditate (as you are laying down) and and healing spiritual energy will flow through you. A good practioner will have very warm hands. A close friend of mine had it done, and she swears by it. (she was attacked by a pitbull and needed scar recovery).
I wouldn't be too bummed about the dating scene. There aren't a whole lot of good guys out there anyways. I think if you really want to date someone, do internet dating, and specify that you don't want someone shallow and narrow minded. Hang in there kid. :)
