- Hello everyone! I am a 35 yr old mother of three, beautiful children..I am separated..and I have alopecia. I first experienced alopecia in 2001, when I suffered two losses. First of all, I found out that a good friend of mine had cancer, and didn't have long to live. I begin to care for him, take him to appointments, and watch as his other so-called friends and family disappeared..It hurt me to watch him, and I begin to feel stressed. Next my grandfather died In April. In five months my good friend passed, and I was also in a bad relationship. Anyway, I became very depressed, not wanting to get out of bed...and I was so out of it..I never noticed how the stress was affecting me physically. One day I went to work, and some of the ladies at work kept staring at the back of my head. I knew that they were talking about me, and some of them laughed. I shrugged it off, and kept working. When I went home that evening I took a mirror and looked. I was horrified! I had a huge bald spot forming in the crown of my head. Then I noticed that the hair that used to get in my eyes all the time was gone. I wanted to die! I had been so vain about my hair..and having low self esteem..I honestly felt like hair.was all I had to hold onto. I have struggled since then with hair loss, and stress. I am learning to see my beauty with or without hair, and I won't lie to you..it has been extremely hard. So I am very excited to be apart of this community..because for so long..I felt like i was alone. Now I see that so many are affected...and alopecia is not the end of the world. God Bless everyone who comes to my page.
