This may sound crazy, but I'm kind of sad life is returning to normal after the hurricane that just hit Houston. Please don't get me wrong, I wouldn't wish this devastation on my worst enemy! But for me, once the hurricane was over and we were on survival mode for several days, it was a nice diversion from my consuming thoughts about hair loss. I liked not having power as I couldn't see my receding hairline in the mirror. I liked having an excuse to 'not look your best' every day. We were too busy cleaning our yards and taking care of our homes. Now I am one of the lucky ones to have a roof, running water and electricity. And now, I can once again see my receding hairline. To make things worse, my identical twin sister is staying nearby with my parents. She lives an hour away and we don't see each other too often. Now, I see her and 'my old hair' every day. It's really been hard. I almost feel selfish to even have these thoughts when you consider the devastation of those around me. I know one day I will learn to accept hair loss and live my life to it's fullest again; I wish I was there....
