insight

you know how your just so busy sometimes or you are thinking about other things so much that your bald head isnt something u really think about. then one day while doing something or getting out of the shower or sitting down at the computer a thought washes over you. I'm so different to so many people i know. I'm female and dont have a single hair on my entire body and some people who have met me dont have a clue. I dont go on rides or swim, i avoid rain and wind, and i dont wear my hair up... ever... men dont have a clue!

sometimes i go to put "my hair" behind my ears and i dont even have my wig on, and i think hang on a second...

some times i feel alone and then i come on here and i feel so much better.

when i start getting down and slipping into an 'alopecia depression' i definitely find the nearest computer and get on here as fast as i can. but i often have these same feelings. for years i didn't swim or play in the rain. i told everyone i was deathly afraid of water. when i went to belize on a mission trip the group went snorkeling on the last day. i was terrified. what was i gonna do? not only do i have to get the in water but on a boat with all the wind. i sank into a depressed mood because swimming use to be one of my favorite activities and i really wanted to experience snorkeling. That's the day I decided I would no longer let alopeica control my life and stop me from doing things i don't want to do. some of close friends went on the trip with me so i told them what was stopping me and they laughed and said that was silly. So i pulled out an old wig that i had brought with me for doing construction work in. I bought some bobby-pins. i wore my old wig, bobby-pinned the crap out of it and then put a bandana over the top of it and bobby pinned it and I went snorkeling. It was the greatest experience ever!! not only is snorkeling fun but for the first time I decided to do something that alopecia had kept me from for years. i was in control. Alopecia didn't win that day! :)

Everyday I'm reminded that i'm different from most women. but everyday I'm reminded that because of that difference I am a better person. I am a stronger person. I am a constant reminder to the world that appearances are not what makes a person a person but beauty comes from within. and we alopecians are truly beautiful people. inside and out.
