As I near my one year shaviversary my depression has come back. Normally I let my hair loss just roll off my back. For some reason this month I just can't. I'm mad, scared, pissed off, and generally uneasy this month.



Maybe because my boys birthday's were this month. My youngest turned 2 and my oldest turned 5 and started Kindergarten. I live for my boys and dont really have time for myself, but I have decided that it is time to go forward with having a wig made for me. I'm tired of… Continue

I have been bald since August 29, 2010. I shaved everything and stopped shaving in October, no new growth. My oldest son will be start Kindergarten in the fall, he has done really well with my hair loss and even talks to his friends about it. I have decided to get a wig for him though, so that he wont have to answer so many questions. I dont think it is fair for him. I have done fine going bald and mostly scarf and hat less most of the time but I do get the "how far into treatment are you"… Continue

I shaved my head just over two weeks ago and I was doing really well with the decision for the first week and a half but now I'm not so sure I'm happy about it. I think my ears stick out to far, I dont like the looks I got when I went out scarfless for the first time in public over the weekend. It has me really down about my decision. I mean I know it was the right one but I guess it just sucks today to have no hair. To top it off I started losing more eye lashes then my normal 1 or 2 a week,… Continue

I was thinking about getting a new tattoo, something about this new phase in my life. I have come up with, Bald and Beautiful Woman in Italian, Donna Calva e Bella. Now to decide where I want it placed.

So my husband shaved my head with clippers on Sunday afternoon. It was the best feeling ever. Showering is easier that is for sure. I even went out without a scarf or hat on in front of people I didnt know and actually held my head high. I wore my scarf to work yesterday but ended up taking it off and leaving it off most of the day. I decided that I didnt like the "velcro head" feeling anymore so I busted out the shaving cream and razor last night, this is the best feeling yet. I love the… Continue

Well I had decided that I was going to shave my head tonight and well it didnt happen. My hubby was supportive but now is questioning why I want to do it now. I still have some hair and he thinks it covers the big spots. I just want to feel whole again, I feel like with more than half of my hair gone that I'm lost and it sucks. I have worn my scarves for the past 3 days and feel completely comfortable in them so that isnt the problem. I guess I'm just having a bad night, ugh. Good night AW.

I just got done with my weekly Target run during work today. I normally can't find cute hats that I love anywhere. Well today I scored a cute brown knit hat and an awesome long scarf I can use for my head one day and for around my neck another day. My mom also found one she liked for me and bought it, I think she is warming up to the idea of me shaving my head. My hubby shaved the lower half of my head last night for me, I couldn't stand the heat anymore. The rest will be gone on Sept. 4th. I… Continue
