Trying to use hair loss as an opportunity rather than a burden. I have never been very adventurous.... had the same hairdo since high school until my hair just left. So now I am trying to see wigs and hats as fun possibilities instead of just coverups.

Gwen, yes you will feel better and your confidence will sky rocket. Before I found this site, I was just like you. I thought I was unattractive, that everyone saw my bald spots and were talking about me. I did not look in the mirror, but one day God spoke and said that you are beautiful. I decided that day to shave what hair I had left and Gwen, the feeling I had at that moment was awesome. A burden lifted from me and I have never looked back. Now, I do sometimes feel down, but that's normal. I say it's still part of my mourning period, but I am so glad I found this site and took the major step by shaving. I promise you will get through this, everyone has their moment and some sooner or later than others. We are here for you to hold your hand, lend a shoulder to cry on and give big hugs. Just trust God and everything will be just fine.
Thank you Gwen for the friend invite. This site is awesome. I found my confidence here. I cried, laugh and found true friends here. It's nice to find a place where people actually get you and understand how you feel.
