About Me:
Just started getting bald patches a few months ago after starting grad school. It's been spreading pretty quick, though I suppose not as quickly as some people have experienced. I felt a bit freaked out at first but am slowly accepting it... it's weird, even though I have a lot more bald areas than I used to, I feel more Zen about it now-- I guess it seems more normal at this point. Admittedly, the hardest time is right after a shower when the bare patches are most visible because of having my hair slicked back from the water.

Despite the weirdness of losing my hair I feel calm and OK about life pretty much all of the time. No need to make a "me" out of a body part!

Curious to read other people's stories and chat with people who know what this experience is like too... I'm glad this site exists.

Hi Andy,
Sounds like how it happened to me one day so much hair thick long pretty the next couple weeks it was just gone tried every shampoo on the market as well as everything to do with hair loss but it never stopped it till I was bald my first doctor the one I had had for 15 years was a jerk I left him seen the doctor I have now over a year he is kind and so sorry this has happened to me but did write me a scrip for a wig ordered two hope they come soon but till they do I have others I will wear off and on my Husband laughed the other day when he came home he never knows what he will see now bald or one of 7 wigs from blond to brown to red and black that is the one thing that keeps a smile on my face with this a strong relationship with the one you love hair or no hair and takes you as you are.Stay strong through this and always remember this if you are anything like me when I first came here I was looking for answers like you and what I found was a whole world of people just like me blew me right out of the water some of the best people in the world are right here you will not find one person judgeing you or anyone else it's a new day and a new world one where we are free to just be ourselfs.Take care and call on me anytime I am a friend.darlin 1925
