Unfortunately when it starts you are going to feel exactly as you do. It is incredibly stressful and your anxiety level goes through the roof! Hang in there. Seek support locally and here too. It takes a lot if time to deal with it. Honestly I have had AU for Twenty years and there are still many days I get sad about it.

Stress is a key word here. It could be a number of things. I started losing patches of hair when I was 9yrs at age 10 I started getting injection to the problem areas to regrow hair. Tried creams and taking steroids but none it seem to help a whole lot until later. I started wearing wigs when I was 14yrs old because I had lost most of my hair. Around when I was 16 yrs I was still getting treatments and it was coming back and staying. When I was 17yrs old I could go without a wig. I had my hair back for about 6 or 7yrs and stayed losing it again.  I would have patches of hair and now I have nothing. I understand how you feel. After having all my hair back for several years and losing it again I think was even harder. You are losing apart of you. It frustrating when they can't give you the answers to your questions. Try not to stress about it. I know easier said then done. The one thing that will help you is exercise. I know you may not feel like exercising but it will help.

I'm newly diagnosed with CCCA....I understand how you feel with trying to accept things!! Part of me wants to be brave and just be Alopecia to the punch and just go bald...part of me wants to figure out what the problem is hoping I can save whatever hair is left. The idea of alopecia is completely overwhelming and it consumes me. Everyday I look in the mirror, wondering if the patches have grown in or got bigger. Based on other's responses here it gets better. Even though we may not see that right now it does!! I'm here if you need me!!
