Last year I became ill with this weird sickness, which is pretty rare, it was called coksaki or something, and it left deep scars, everywhere, but my face is what gets me the most.
I miss how it used to look,
everytime I see hole pictures of myself,
I want to just break down and cry,
because I thought I was pretty than,
I know looks aren't everything,
but it really hurts my self esteem.
And I had heart surgery when I was little so I havea huge scar on my right shoulder blade, I just have so many scars, and I feel like I'm just a big scar, and that I'm ugly and undesirable. I'm pathetic I guess, anyone ever felt similar to how I'm feeling? How do you deal?
I also know theres nothing I can do about it,
like the deep scars on my face, but I dont know how to accept it.

Nothing has changed in you its just a few differences on the outside and you shouldnt let that stop you from being the person you were before. I know a girl who has a long deep scar down the side of her face and i think shes gorgeous, alot of other people do to. Another girl i know who was a burn victim has alot of burn scars over her face but she is one of the nicest people ive ever known. You should be an inspiration to people. Even though you've been through a horrible ordeal, you should stand tall as the person you are and smile at the world. You will always be beautiful, and if anyone ever thinks your not then they're truly ugly. Just stay positive, i know its hard but just try.

queenhearts answered Saturday June 30 2007, 1:21 am: Ah but scars can be beautiful. it really is. i think it gives you character. you're really strong to overcome that sickness.
You aren't undesirable, anyone who can't look past your scars is stupid. I have scars all over my face too. I held my face down during my middle school years. It really hurt me but now, after so many years of beating myself over it and treatment... it's faded slightly.
Don't let it get you down. Don't look at those pictures anymore. I know it will take you time to get over it. It took me about 5 years to gain some confident. Don't be like me though, be happy and be confident. You aren't a big scar.
Have you gone to a dermatologist? See your options?
yourrtrustyhelpline answered Saturday June 30 2007, 12:15 am: there's really no way you can get over it quickly. accepting and getting over it will take time. over time, your scars might heal as well. some do, some don't you just have to wait and see. you can talk to a dermatologist about it if you feel the need.
