" As a child, she longed for social activities. No one invited her to birthday parties, she didn’t go to clubs, and she spent most of her time alone. She is said to have been very impressed by this and regrets that she has only a minimum of beautiful memories of her childhood. “A lot of kids go through something similar.

Although I live in constant fear that I could easily bleed out and die, I already know what’s wrong with me,” she continued. Doctors diagnosed her with Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome.

The vessels are dilated, enlarged and the blood flow in them is changed. A very noticeable “birthmark” appears on the skin, covering a large part of the body. “I had huge anxiety for years.

And everyone is beautiful,” she confided to Metro. Intensive therapy with a psychologist and meetings with people who have similar problems helped her with everything. She also found help on social networks, where she discovered a community of people who, like her, had been bullied because of their appearance. “Be strong and don’t be afraid to show the world your beauty, don’t suffocate your fears and confide in someone,” she added.The article is in Czech Tags:  girl   unhappy   birthmark   today   proudly   shows "
