    Hi everyone, thanks for sayin hello to me. i haven't met anyone else yet with my condition, im nervous if i do waterworks may not be held back.im welling up now just knowing you guys have been struggling with me but seem to be handling it better(sound so positive).i cant bring myself to wear a wig or just shave it.and i hate it when i get brushed off by friends or family by saying"kim, i can't even tell you are losing hair" like its no big deal if they cant see it...they have no idea what i do everyday to hide it best with different hair parts, hairspray,brown colored talcom powder, hair pieces i clip in, hats hats and more hats etc.........it wears me down, not to mention the constant anticipation of what changes my hair will go through next month more growth or more fallen out.argh emotionally and physically draining. to think this could be the rest of my life.depressing.all the adjustments like what jobs can i do with least amount of embarrassment, where can i live, do i hide in the country(im doing now), or shave and be cool shnead o'connor in the city(but my head is too small and weird shaped for shaving,just not my style). I am 4 years into this dilema.sometimes 50% hair gone(the part under the top layer of hair luckily so i can hide it), some year it was a good portion of the top(it was a hat and colored powder year), just keeps duin its thing moving all around then growing back. well this is long. feels like a jounal.i check my emails every 2 weeks or so, but if anyone reads this that knows of actual meetings with others in my area, please let me know. that means you jeffrey that lives in San Francisco, let me know puh-lease(wed nites?) thanks y-all kimberly
