I did it!!
Little update for everyone,
I was posting on her a while ago about how i was gutted that i was going to have to buzz my hair as I had lost too much to hide it anymore...I was in pieces at the thought of losing my hair and I was so worried about how my 10 year old daughters friends were going to react if they saw it. Would she get bullied just because mummy has no hair??
Well...this morning, after walking around nervously for weeks in wigs and hoodies, wondering if anyone had noticed I had no hair, i have realised that even if they are looking....SO WHAT???
I have completely shaved my head now and am walking round proudly bald and beautiful...admittedly only in the house, not built up the courage to go outside like it yet, but that day will come one day. Until then I am who I am with or without hair...and now I am starting to accept and understand my condition, i'm not such a mess about it.
I wont lie and say that i dont cry for my hair back, i do, but then all I have to do is look in the mirror, wipe my tears and tell myself that I'm not the only person in the world that has Alopecia, there is someone somewhere in the world doing exactly the same this i am at that time. So what i really want to say is that over the past few months my life has been changed drastically. I feel that maybe I HAVE changed as a person, but for the better. I've been made to learn the hard way that beauty really does lie within, and no matter what, no one and nothing can ever take that away.
I'm vicki, I have alopecia and I am not ashamed anymore, i am no longer scared. Because now I know that bald really is beautiful. You dont need a full head of hair to be an angel...maybe you were one all along, it just took a major change like alopecia to bring it out.
I want to send out so much love, support and thanks to each and every one of you that have helped and are helping me on my journey as an alopecian. I truly feel that without you and this site, i wouldn't be who i am today.
All my love everyone and remember
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL...ONLY A FOOL WOULD SAY DIFFERENT!!

Good for you Vicki...yes it does get better over time. After 20 years I still wear my wig in public as I prefer my look with hair but I admire anyone who has the courage to be seen bald. It inspires me to not think of myself as 'different' just 'same, same, but different' :-)

So glad you have the courage to walk around bald and proud around your house, its so easy to wear something on your head just for that comfort.
So many people have said it and bet you've heard it before, but remember that beautiful little saying "the people who matter dont mind and the people who mind dont matter" :) xx

aw thank you, this is so true. Ive had a few people say things but have realised that their opinion means nothing to me. I was terrible before for just wearing a hoodie all the time to cover my head, now im not so bad, im getting there. Looking forward to the day that i can go outside like it xx
