I'm 32, currently living in Montreal, QC with my partner of 5.5 years. I'm a sixth year PhD student in Counselling Psychology, and I'll be submitting my dissertation in just a few weeks. I've had alopecia universalis since I was 6...and I'm a strong believer in just being whoever it is that you are. I'm realizing though, that it takes a lifetime to figure out just who that is. I'm enjoying the journey, though.
Same here. Busy with work, will be moving to the USA in the next little while and this site with rj. I am really happy to see you here and oh my goodness... you look like your mother ;). Delete Comment
I have come to the realization that as supportive as my parents, family, and true friends have been, in the back of our minds we NEVER imagined that I would grow up to have alopecia for the rest of my life. I guess that is why I am having such difficulties now with meeting men and having romantic relationships. i just don't feel attractive anymore.
Emily, the thing that amazes me about this site is the participation! I never would have guessed that people would just jump in and get things started they way they have. Both me and rj really appreciate your perspective and input. I am really glad you are here :)
Hello Emily,
I also studied Counseling Psychology at Lewis and Clark College here in Portland.
And I love Montreal (except for the cold!)
I just wanted to say hello. I've had au for 20 years.

It's wonderful that you want to help. Me too, that's why I wrote my book (If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!).
Good luck finding that special place for yourself --
A hug!
Hi Emily, Nice to see you back. I know how busy things can get. I am good. Busy at work and then this site in the evenings, but I am looking forward to the summer and just relaxing a bit. How about you?
Hi, Emily. It's certainly nice to hear from you again. You're such an integral and inspirational part of Alopecia World that I hope your schedule will permit you to remain involved in our beloved community. :-) Are you attending the NAAF conference this year?
