"I've always had it since childhood. The spots move around and have a mind of their own. I'll regain hair in some spots and then a new area will thin out. I try to be at peace no matter what's going on up there lol. Take it day by day.…"

Coping and treatment tips

Hi, my name is BrittanyThis will be a pretty short story. I started to lose my hair October of 2018. What started as a quarter size patch of hair loss turned into about 80% hair loss today. My dermatologist diagnosed me with alopecia totalis, but said there is a possibility it could turn into alopecia univeralis. I have not had the courage to shave my head yet and wear wigs when out in public. I am having such a hard time coping. This autoimmune disease has really taken a huge part of me away.…See More

About Me:
I just started to lose my hair last year
I now have lost about 80% of my hair. This autoimmune disease has taken my hair and has taken such a strong emotional toll on my emotions. It is hard to handle the changes that have been coming my way. I am hoping to talk to other people that have similar experiences and am interested in how you have found a way to cope. My relationship is failing at the same time as all this and my already intense anxiety has intensivied so much farther.
Do you have alopecia?
Alopecia totalis
Are you age 18 or older?
Yes - I am 18 or older
