About Me:
My name is Anastasia. I have had alopecia almost all of my life. I lost all of my hair for the first time when I was eight. I have totally allowed alopecia to control my life. The fear of rejection and shame have always been determining factors in decisions I've made. I have never met anyone else with alopecia. I have always felt so alone. Finally I decided to reach out to other people that can relate to me and understand my feelings.
Do you have alopecia?
Alopecia areata
Are you age 18 or older?
Yes - I am 18 or older

Wow I haven't been on here in a long time. A lot has changed. I've become more social. This seems very basic, but I've struggled with it my whole life since I lost all my hair at 8. I've made new friends, but there is still a part of me that is embarrassed by my alopecia. Also, I do not date at all. Since the end of my last relationship at 24 I have not dated at all & I am now 29, yep 5 years. I know it’s because I have a serious fear of rejection or being judged because of my alopecia.…

Hey Everyone

I don't get to stop by as often as I would like. I'm so busy working and reading all the time. Things have been going well lately. I need to get a laptop or something, because the job does not allow access to outside websites, which really stinks, but I guess it only takes one person to ruin things for everyone. I somewhat excited, because I'm going to Chicago early next month, so I have something fun to look forward to. My hair grew into a decent sized afro over the summer then fell out again.… Continue

Hello Everyone,



I haven't posted in a while, because I've been so busy lately. I graduated earlier this month, so I have my B.S. in business administration. I started a new job recently and things are going very well. I've also been preparing for the LSAT (Law School Admissions Test) it has always been a dream of mine to go to law school and I'm going to do it. Also, I've been working on building “real" relationships. I explained things about myself to close friends and family… Continue

Making Progress

The support on this site has been amazing. I've starting taking baby steps. A couple days ago I told my best friend about my alopecia and how it has made me feel. I even took my wig off so he could what my hair actually looks like. As of right now I'm not completely bald I had to stop shaving because my scalp was so irritated. He was so supportive and understanding. We talked until 2a.m., he suggested since it was so late and no one would see me that I drive home without my wig on. I did and it… Continue

Being Honest

Posted on May 16, 2009 at 4:00pm 8 Comments

Hello, this is very strange to me first of all. I am not one who socializes at all, especially on the internet. Today is my birthday. I am 27 years old. Alopecia has been running my life for the last 20 years. Yesterday, I took some time to think about everything I have missed out on because I was afraid. I have always felt that I wasn't good enough period. I think it comes from all of the teasing and hurtful comments over the years. I have never had a real relationship with anyone. I have… Continue

I know I don't want to get in a situation like that. Thats why im a Pacifist. I was laughing at that one joke, "your mom so fat, she fell in love and broke it". That was really funny.

You had a best friend of 10 years and he didnt know you had alopecia? I didnt have to deal with this as a child but I did have a best friend in junior high, whom I am still friends with, who has alopecia universalis. I was the one who watched her back in school. I was the one who beat up kids who snatched her wig off and then paid for it by staying in in-school suspension all the time. I always got sent home from school for fighting, but they never cared that I was only sticking up for my friend who was to shy to stick up for herself. I was made fun of too... but then it was for my last name, which is Sizemore. Im sure you can imagine. So I got to a point in my life where I learned that what people think or say about me has no physical effect on my life. I still continue to be the same person no matter what people say or how they laugh at me. I was sexually abused as a child and physically abused by my first husband. So now I dont let anyone walk on me. I hold my head high and I know that by the grace of God, NO ONE is better than me! As I am no better than anyone else. People laugh at or are scared of what they cant understand. So I dont wear wigs because I figure, this is me, I am bald. And if someone wants to ask why I am bald I will tell them. If they make fun of me, I will make them feel bad by telling them exactly what Alopecia Areata is.
Hold your head high. This is your life now. It doesnt matter what people think of you. Your hair didnt make you and loosing your hair didnt break you. If someone cant take you for who you really are, under the wig, then they dont deserve you. You are a beautiful person inside and out. Spend less time on what people might think and more time on feeling free. Life is to short to hide. Let you light shine girl!
Besos.

Scrambling for the wig whenever the doorbell rings. Hahah! I have to laugh at that...How silly my kids must think I am when I do that..I've been married for 6 years and I still run fot the wig when I hear my husband's keys at the door...what a foolish thing to do...

LOL@naming wigs, I used to do the same, I had Tina, Sasha, Lola, etc, lol, we do what we need to do to maintain sanity. Family can be rude when it comes to baldness, once a family member called me a bald eagle at a family function, my brothers quickly handled him, but the damage was done. For the rest of the function, everyone tiptoed around me, finally I left. Hurt feelings and all. Now that I've accepted who I am and love me for me, life is very very good. Stay blessed and beautiful!
