I know exactly how you feel and I am sure most of us on this website can relate to you. Whenever I was down like that, I went shopping...not sure of your situation long or short hair, but I went out on a mission to find the funkiest hat or scarf known to man...I have some pretty cool ones...they are not expensive, just fun ones that I felt good wearing...my most favorite one was $2.00 on sale LOL try it....shopping is great medicine. :)

Retail therapy is great for everything ... but the bank account!

That's why I shaved my head when it got to the point shown in the first pictures on my profile. I kept getting more and more stressed watching the bald areas get larger, and picking up more hair every day. I felt totally out of control, but then when I shaved my head I felt in control! Take care...hang in there. Mary

wow.. thanks for the response everyone. i have been feeling very down lately and need to vent from time to time. friends and co workers really do not understand of what your really going through. I am so happy that i found this new site to relate to people that have and are going through what i have been feeling for all these years.

As for health ins i was recently divorced so my coverage ended when the marriage ended. and its just me and my girls so its super expensive for me to afford insurance through my employer. u would think because im working for a MD i would have the greatest health benefits. NOPE! Insurance is super expensive and the deductiable is ridculously high. so i am no ins and working for a MD.

Getting ready for a party...have nonideacwhan to do with my hair.   AA  with thin hair...too much to shave, not enough to go without coverage.  New job...I need a new wig.  Feeling unmotivated... not ready for complete baldness.  Just need a pep talk.
