I was talking to my friend Desta,  who has been studying vitiligo for 2 decades, and he confirmed what we all know: Emotional issues play a big role in vitiligo.

He told me that a 7 year old girl started her vitiligo one week after returning from Disney World.  Her mother approached him in a Vitiligo Seminary and asked him about the possible cause.  He asked the mother if the girl was affraid of a roller coaster.  The mother started crying...   Later on her husband told him that they forced her to "overcome" her fear in a roller coaster ride...

He also told me that the following feelings are very harmful for vitiligo sufferers.  Please see below:

1- If you are a person who is feeling completely out of place, you feel that you are no one in the group or you have no sense of belonging, you may as well develop vitiligo. The principle knowledge of oneness of mankind helps us all to feel part of this big entity rather than feeling outside the group.

2- If you are a ” yes-but” person and are never satisfied with what you have, how you look or what you are. Moreover, you feel that there is lack of joy in your life, then you are another candidate for vitiligo.

We know it's not easy, but we must try to use the emotional issues in favor of ourselves.  So we have to try to find real happiness.  I found these 18 interesting tips about what happy people do, so that I would like to share with you:
