About Me:
heyyy, my name is alyssa.
i am nineteen years old.
i live in new york.
i attend Penn State University.
I love to dance, dancing almost all my life
i would also like to become a photographer after college

i have had alopecia almost my whole life, when i was in pre-school my mom would send me to school in little hats so no one would ever see my bald spots. soon enough it went away and everyone loved my hair, i had long brown curly hair. when i was in the 6st grade i lost my eyebrows, everyone use to make fun of me, i got very upset because my parents never got int details about me having this, i thought that there was something wrong with me. as the years went on i tried looking up things online to learn on what Alopecia is. around march of '09, i got a big bald spot right on my hair line. the hair never grew back, but the spots got bigger. i now have no hair. i go threw moments in which i hate it, madd that i have this but soon enough, i think of many others who i have met and they are happy with themselves.
This isn't the worst thing that can happen.

    the question is not rude, I don't want anyone to see me with out penciled on eyebrows and at least thick black eyeliner, i'm embarressed and feel like a freak. I couldn't imagine how my fiance could look at me after seeing me like that and ever be attracted to me or to go out in public and not be totaly embarressed to be with me. I know its a horrible way to think but i can't help it, its ingrained into my brain just as deep as everyother negative thought in my head that i can't get rid of. my alopicia is something that was NEVER talked about, even in my family, and still isn't talked about, I never even told my family that it went from AA to AU. I guess i never learned how to deal with any of it. How do you deal with it?
