Have we not accepted our hair loss because we wear hair?

Do you feel that you need to accept this whole hair loss issue? I don't. I will never accept it. If acceptance is defined by wanting to go out without my hair - then I definitely know I will never accept it. Hell if I had to call 911 in the middle of the night - I know if I had to crawl over to my wig to plop it on my head - I would. I don't even like taking my hair off to let my derm see my scalp.

I compare it to being half-dressed. Yes, God made me naked but that doesn't mean if I wear clothes I can't accept my body. I have no problem being bald around family and friends but not strangers/ in public. My wig is like getting dressed. Hats off (haha) to those who can feel comfortable bald in public but that's not me.

Hey LilyBell I'm with you 100% I will never accept my bald head! I hate it.I wear a night cap so nobody sees my shame  I am so embarrassed by this rotten condition. I have been told by "hair people" it's not life threatening, you are still the same person with or without hair etc etc Oh yeah what do they know! Every day is an effort. Every action has to be thought about eg: if its windy out or if I go to the beach  Damm I hate this condition.
