Fans Show Support For Amy Schumer As She Opens Up About Feeling ‘Ugly and Unlovable’ During Health Battle

Schumer went on to say that the bald spots that presented themselves after she had pulled out too much hair made her feel "deformed," which was something she said other children in her school also made her feel. "I ate my lunch in the nurse's office because I heard someone say that I made them sick," she said, before adding that she then realized that she had to overcompensate and put on a strong and confident front to hide her insecurity from the rest of her classmates.

"I was extra confident, I always had a boyfriend, I was always like, 'Everybody cool has no hair.' I thought I was okay. I didn't realize that I was not okay and the hair pulling was a symptom of that. I would not even realize I did it and just look down and there would be a pile of hair." The mom of one then went on to say that her own mom was "especially horrified and upset by it," adding, "She would help me do my hair before school every morning, and she would be crying while she helped me with my hair."

Even though Schumer still suffers from the condition and has admitted that she still only has "half the amount of hair" that she should have, she said that she is extremely grateful that things like wigs and hair extensions have been normalized, which makes her feel less alone and embarrassed. "I'm lucky that extensions have become so normalized," she continued. "Every woman you see on camera in any movie is wearing a wig or has a lot of added hair. That's just how it works in the business. It's not even strange."

Schumer continued: "I used to be embarrassed about having these little clip-in extensions, but I just think all these things that we've been ashamed of and hiding — we put on makeup, we put in extensions, we put on Spanx — it's all good. Just doing whatever you want to do to feel good." We couldn’t agree more!
