Welcome Gina!
Yes... alopecia sucks... lol. When you start to think about how much it sucks... don't. Its not worth it. It took me way too many years to figure that one for myself. I have survived it since the age of 5 (I am 41 now). I hope we have the chance to talk.

Hi Gina! Welcome! I also have Alopecia Totalis. I lost my hair when I was 5. I have been through many struggles in my life because of it. Mostly of self-acceptance. But I can honestly say that I am at peace w/ my condition and am happy in my life. This is a great community! I have recently joined, and have found many new friends.

Gina,
Welcome! I know it is tough, but you seem to be a positive person , and have a beautiful smile, so just keep smiling. Yes alopecia sucks but there are worse things in life. I am a published poet also and have written for most of my life. Perhaps we can chat sometime.

I'm doing great. Thanks for asking. Will you ever post your poems on here? I would love to read them! I like to write too. But it seems that being married and having four kids has pushed my writing into oblivion. My dad always asks me "So when is that novel gonna be done?" I just roll my eyes at him. lol

Hi Gina,
Yes it can be sucky, alright!
I've had it for nearly 30 years. AU for 20. I wrote a book to help women (especially girly-girls!) cope with it, and even have fun with it! You can find out more by going to my page, and order by clicking my web site which is on my page. Good luck! I'd like to know how you are doing!

I enjoy writing also and now call myself a writer; that isn't published. I notice your comments have attracted a lot of people that like to write and some have said they don't have the time. You must set aside at the very least 10mins or even 30mins to write. Even if what your writing doesn't make sense. I've spent countless days writing what appeared to be jibberish; however, when rereading them, I found bits of pure inspiration and was able to collectively add those bits to essays and poems.
