Went to therapy today and there was obviously a big group again, this time we had a special person in there talking about substance abuse, and guess what I found out?
I overly take my meds and I find it a necessity to have my 3 glasses of wine at night and that means I have a substance abuse even tho i don't do it in the day time but I over take my meds in the day and then i have my drinks at night, so after therapy is over I have to attend a substance abuse program. makes me feel…

I reached my goal today and went for a walk wit my husband around the block and we did it in broad day light right after dinner, I was hesitant at first due to my social anxiety problem but I grab held of his hand and off we went.
I'm very proud of myself and tomorrow we plan to do the very same thing hopefully soon enough I won't have anxiety attacks and i'll be able to go out on my own .
I've aheived my goal that I set and I am proud of myself

I have set a goal for tomorrow night at 9:00 p.m eastern standard time to start walking around the block with my husband so this way I dont have to deal with axiety cause most people in my complex are in their homes.
The reson for this goal is because I went from a 110lbs to 145lbs. i've excercised at home but it's doing me no good, perhaps its a sign of God to push me out and work on my anxiety so i'm looking forward to my walk around the block with my hubby tomorrow night .
wish me…

In group therapy yesterday I promised to make a goal that was to walk my dog and I will keep to it as I have anxiety attacks so even if for 10 minutes I will accomplish it. And I don't give a damn who wants to stare at my hair piece( as my husband likes to all it, he says wig is too harsh)
When session was over I asked if I could also get a one on one counseling to help me over many hurtles in my life and already i've got that in motion so I'm excited to look forward to not only a new me…

my inlaws from italy came to visit along with my mother in law who lives in Toronto, I found the courage to pull out my laptop and show her my album called my secret world of alopecia(facebook) I showed her who I really looked like with no hair. She said to me," you are still beautiful and the one with the blond curly hair ,you look like lady gaga,,HAHA. I think she said that to make me laugh. So I felt better showing her the real me of who I am when she leaves my home. I felt relief i felt I…

I went today and wow they weren't kidding before it all gets better it gets worst, I've never meant so many people with so much pain including myself, but I made it through and I feel good about myself today. The more groups I go to the better I can heal over my alopecia amongst other things. Next week we will talk about NEGATIVITY and I am looking forward to it because that for sure is going to be for me with my alopecia.
Just wanted to keep some of my friends on here…

it's amazing how many people can be so rude, Friday I decided to take out the trash in my turban, we live in a complex so we have to leave our house to get to the garbage house, i thought no one would see me considering it was during the day and it was working hours fo most, As I came back out of the hut my neighbor yells, you looking to be an indian with that turban on? I was not only in tears but furious because i thought it was racist I was so tempted to go up to him and knock him out. But I…

I went to the dr's apt. this evening to take a look at my head as for some reason I has these very soft tiny stubs onver my head , I asked him if there was a chance it would grow and that it has been like this for a vey long time. He told me ufortunatly it will stay that way, it is your white cells overly acting. I came out crying in hopes I'd gt at least little good news but I got bad news instead. So basically i've got the lining for hair but it just won't grow:(
Has anyone or does…

Today was my second day through my therapy and to my surprise it was my turn to talk, I spoke of my bad childhood and adolescent life and brought up "alopecia" I asked who here knows what that means? they all answered NO so I explained what it was and they told me I was very brave to share something like that. and that they couldn't even tell I wore a wig.But they were very supportive of it.
my counselor is going to help me raise awareness in Oshawa about alopecia when I have done my…

I thought for a while I was gonna be ok and that I wouldn't be nervous on my trip to my therapy session , however today I find myself a nervous wreck, wondering if someone will stare at my head, wondering if they can figure out I am wearing a wig, I mean alot of folks stare and I guess it's only natural but I'm nervous about it.
Tomorrow is a big day for me and I really hope I can pull through it!
