Hey becci. I'm still not doing so well. I'm having a hard time looking in the mirror and accepting this. Especially since I feel like I brought it on myself by trying to get off my medicine too fast. It's a really really shitty thing to deal with man or woman. I was never too good at coping with hard times but I would consider this way more than a hard time. I'm dealing with two other devastating things on top at the same time....but I know babe my parents just don't understand. I don't think anyone who doesn't have it could fully grasp the mindset of it. Mudville addiction or psiorasis...ya dig....I know it may not mean much to ya but I still think your pretty hot hair or not.... Stay in touch and try And be strong....
Hey Becci. :) I have more bad days than good days lately. I wish I didn't let this control me so much but I do. Hopefully one day I won't. We have to remember that were beautiful people anyways. I know I do, this disease has made me feel less than. And not knowing what to do or how it will end is crushing. I have become a homebody and don't really leave the house. I shut everyone out including other girls due to fear. I hope your doing better than me. But I understand completely because if u don't have this disease u couldn't possibly understand the psyche that's involved. Hoping for better days in the near future and some inner strength. And I hope the same for u.
Hey Becci..Welcome AW. I also have alopecia areata and have dealing with it since tweleve years old, I am now 29. It's th emost frustrating thing, but I love that on AW we can share our frustration/emotions about this condition.
Yeah I can imagine. And I know thats what's upsetting about this disorder. There's no denial and no control. I had a pretty full head of hair a couple months ago but I shaved my head because I lost so much hair diffusely. My family is tired of hearing about all this and nobody seems to understand the frustration. And I also have vitiligo too on top of this. Praying for acceptance or a cure cause I don't want to live like a miserable person. Hope your lectures went good.
