I'm normal but with a hair problem...i love things like: animals(and bugs), photography(taking and looking), the great outdoors(horseback anyone?), the calm of indoors, movies(home or out, any types), people(the majority), quiet(home with cat), loud(concerts), nice things(where i live) and grundgy things(not scared to get dirty)....i guess i could go on but in conclusion, i am a pretty balanced person all around(except for my *damn* hair situation haha)
Hi Kimberly, I wanted to welcome you to Alopecia World. I can honestly say that we are a great community here and I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us. Cheryl, co-founder
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
