mental health approach to deal with depression caused by appearance?

[recedoroy]

I was recently seeing a Cognitive Behavioural Therapist for social anxiety. It didn't really do much for me because its a combination of things that have caused me to be depressed. What I've realised is the only one I can't handle and that gives me that completely hopeless depression is my appearance due to hair loss. I pretty much deal with my social anxiety anyway and you probably wouldn't even know that was an issue for me. But I am really interested in CBT as a technique. I can see how over time it changes your thoughts and thus your feelings, changing your life for the better.

But what is the approach to fix depression for the way I look? What would a Dr recommend for that? Doesn't have to be hair related. How to people overcome things like that? It doesn't seem like the techniques used in CBT would be much use. When I look in the mirror I get absolutely floored. Like today- I'm on a super health kick and have been eating great all week, I had sent a few text messages to friends earlier to begin making plans for tonight- then I looked in the mirror (not on purpose or anything just in the bathroom) and I instantly just feel the wind sucked out of me. I'm pretty sure I'm going to order a pizza and stay in. It just makes me instantly not give a **** about anything. How do I change the way I feel about this?
