You are going through a difficult time and I know it isn't easy to walk that mile but you can do it joanne. if you really are feeling suicidal call someone close to you, or if you have difficulty sharing with someone you know call the samaritans i know they have helped me when i have felt out of control with fear of the unknown. If you would like to drop me a line we can always chat and share some stories. I don't have alopecia but i have a son with it and walk each step with him - i know how distressing it can be! I am also a counsellor so i know that samaritans really can help. You are not alone in this world. You are not defined by having or not having hair you are defined by your true beauty remember that. Big virtual hug on its way to you x
Hello and welcome, Joanne,
I am so sorry you are feeling distressed. There are a lot of wonderful wigs out there.
If you tell me your budget and whether you are looking for synthetic or human hair (I have both), I can try to steer you in the right direction. I have universalis, so I wear wigs all the time.
