there was this kid in my high school with the same condition, his hair fell in huge chunks, and soon after he was bald everywhere.

i can somewhat relate how extremely unhappy you are, and there is no doubt and needless to say that it feels terrible, but it also shows the psychological strength a person has during difficult times.

my question is: do you actually tell yourself that youre beautiful? if so why?

i simply want to know, not bashing. i hear a lot of people tell themselves they are pretty etc, or beautiful even if fat or whatever. is that like a sort of psychological defense mechanism, where the brain is trying to prevent clinical depression.. or simply ignorance.. i always wondered. i tell myself im fugly all the time.

edit: also dont take me wrong, not being mean but im not the sort of person who would tell youre beautiful simply because i "should", or who would somehow try to desensitize your condition with humor in order to feel better for myself and for you.
