When someone is struggling accepting alopecia is it a sign of something deeper.

Was the hair just a cover up of not accepting who they were before the hair loss?

If someone can accept who they are WITH hair, then why not WITHOUT? -----questions questions!!!

Accepting who you are is just that --Acceptance!

Whenever the topic of hair loss comes up, people always praise me and are astounded by my attitude about my alopecia.

Its as though they feel it is something so terrible and dramatic... and that the average person would be in crisis.



Am I wrong having a positive/nonchalant attitude toward alopecia?



I was 16 and popular in high school when my hair fell out. I didn't think it was a big deal back then and don't think its a big deal now. Many people told me "High school… Continue

Anyone ever been on Yaz or Yasmin contraceptive and see anything… Continue

Hey all,

In my posts I wrote about how my hair is coming back. However, right now I'm as bald as can be! All of the hair growing progress is gone.

Its a relief to not have patches to shave off anymore. Its official... I enjoy being bald more so than having hair.

I was having such great progress with the hair growth for long time. Currently, it is cram time at school. Its my last year as an undergraduate. There is too much to do in such a little time.
