I'm going on a class trip to the 4 corners for two weeks - I'l talk to you all again in June!
I'm a respiratory therapy student and just developed alopecia over the past few months. I'm a very mellow, family oriented guy but it's been surprisingly difficult for me to deal with my hair loss - I'm looking for strength from other people who have gone through the same thing.
I feel as if I should just be able to get beyond this but I dwell on it. I have bare spots all over the back and sides of my head and a couple small ones developing on the front. In a way I just wish it would all fall out but that seems like a pretty petty thought. I really don't know what to think.
I don't think it's petty to wish your hair would all fall out. Sometimes I feel exactly the same way. I feel like it would be easier to accept the baldness than the patchy losses.
