Writing a self-proposed essay on bullying due to alopecia and how to make it end. To make the questions stop...

Thing is though...I don't know where to start. I wanna tell my stories of my own struggles but I would like to know from others..Who've also been there.

Watching some documentaries about anti-bullying has inspired me to write this essay and basically spam it where I can get it onto. I want people to be aware.

So...Please if it's not too much trouble share your stories and how you stopped it if you were able to...You will be credited.

Please and thank you.

Hair, are you there? Please come out! c:

So, like a few months ago, I went to a dermatalogist and the doctor lady was pretty cool. She told me like a summary about alopecia (which I already knew, but I didn't tell her otherwise), and she also said that there wasn't any magical cures yet. I really admired her for telling it like it is and not buttering it up. I liked that. What I really thought was awesome is that she prescribed me some lotion type thing. Like, I'm supposed to rub or massage some onto my head then like a rash type…

Let them stare!

Okay, leaving soon to meet some friends. It was okay running in and out of a few stores. Now, I'll be sitting in one place for a while. Feeling kind of anxious. What if people start staring at me? For a brief moment I thought about cancelling. Then I thought, screw it! Let them stare!…

Back of Wigs

I was talking to my boyfriend about not being able to find a wig yesterday in the store that I liked. He came out with some things he may have been brave enough to say, yet he is the only one I know who would dare say it to me...

He said not to go for styles too short as often you can see at the back of the wig the strips where it is all attached. It took my bit by surprise and made me relook at different wigs I had seen on line.

I was always worried about the tops of wigs, I…

I did it!

Yesterday was a long, emotional meeting. I woke up with a bad headache which was good because I had to speak at a meeting. I debating whether or not to just shave my head before the meeting but decided to wait.

Later I had lunch with a friend, rushed home, and headed straight to the bathroom -- I stood there in silence and just starting chopping off my locs watching them fall to the floor. After the deed was done, I was so relieved. I had the biggest smile on my face. I was so…
