Well.....yes. The week started outed well. Lots of energy....ready to tackle Xmas shopping. Hair cooperating.
Tuesday was still good....saw my naturopath and happily only had to pay the copay this time and nothing else. whew!
Wednesday....good I suppose....but, darn cold, so I wore a hat.
Thursday....more Xmas shopping and feeling like stuff is coming together. Annoyed with hair today because it's dry and whenever I look in the mirror, it makes me unhappy. My hair is thin, flat and frizzy....little pieces of new growth sticking out up front like I am a muppet.....not a good look. *sigh* And on top of my disappointment in my hair, I get clobbered with requests for $$$ from various people today: 2 separate requests for the school auction and to pitch in for an overpriced class Xmas gift.... I already purchased our gift last month because nobody said by Thanksgiving anything about doing a shared gift!! Ugh. So yes, I'm annoyed....my husband works his butt off for us and I already contributed to the School Foundation earlier this year and I'm tired of forking out $$$ to everyone. And I hate my hair.

Hang in there. I am a single mom who also has a hair loss problem. The economy is tough for almost everyone right now. You didn't say much about what's happening with your hair. How have you handled it in the past? Was there anything that made you feel better?

I don't want to be insensitive, but I have to say that you don't really need hair to look handsome. You look great! I bet your family thinks so, too, but sometimes it is easy not to believe them. As for being tired and drained by a young family, that sorts itself out in...uh...about 10 years LOL!

hey, im 17 and for the first year i felt like that, ive had it for 3 years, and it grew back with spots, im loosing it again, feeling hopeless and out of control, why me? but with a little bit of faith i know i can change the world, just today i told a random girl im not even close to my story and she cried, for the first time i felt like someone had a heart and appriciated what i had gone through. To the best of my abilities i know i was born to educate others, and stand up for people like us who are "different", wonderful, strong people, unlike other peoples problems ours show on the outside, and we are forced to deal with them. This makes us better as people, sweeter, and sensitive, when i think about how much i hate what im going tthrough i looked at all the lessons ive learned and i smile, it nice to know through all my pain i can come out with a smile.

Unfortunately there are a lot of us out there that are feeling the same way. I don't think I've ever felt as low as I have been; recently laid off, moved in with my parents to save money, bald, and lonely. I know there is a light at the end of the tunnel, it just may be a tough road ahead but I will get there.
Hang in there!
