Just wanted to connect with others who have a chronic illness. I feel so defeated. I've spent every day, all day trying to make it better, doing my research, coordinating my care. Ultimately, there's a little voice that knows it will get worse anyway. I'm in my 20s. I was an attractive woman. In the span of a few months, I started balding, my face started sagging, I started breaking out on my body. I'm trying to cope with the fact that I will never be attractive again but it's so hard because it was just too soon. I now look like I am in my 40s. My mind has not caught up with how I look on the outside. Life is different. It was all taken away from me so fast. I will have this condition forever. I wonder if it's even worth it to keep going now that my health is gone.

While most people are distracted by the superficial, there are some who are attracted to deeper qualities like a sense of humor, compassion, and kindness. it may be that these changes could lead to encountering someone interested in the deeper you.
