Where acceptance is all there is!
Abandoned - nervous breakdown
I wrote in my prvious blog about what has and is happening to me. I received a few comments, but I have not heard back from anyone since which has saddened me very much.
These last days for me have been the worse of nightmares. My family has now abandoned/turned their back on me during my time of great need. I am all alone facing this now, my job is on the line. I do not know where to turn, or what to do. I have no one to talk to. I cannot stand to look at myself in the mirror. I am watching myself go bald strand by strand, for the last 15 months. This is beyond traumatic for me, but no one understands, no one will help me or even offer a kind world. I cannot get through this without the support of those I love, but they will not talk to me now.
Everyone has abandoned me.
Is there anyone out there to talk to?

I have found that people really only care about themselves and how you can listen to THEM...so, if you are expecting constant attention, soothing, listening, etc. from non-alopecians...or even alopecians...then you are forgetting that it takes two to listen. Sometimes, silence is best, too. Journals, dermatologists, www.naaf.org, support groups and re-channeled energies help keep us from overwhelming our friends (or turning them off).
Why not SHOCK everyone by doing something 180 degrees different than they would expect from you? I mean like taking on a TOTALLY different class or hobby, traveling or moving to an unexpected town, switching colleges, revamping your wig color/shaving, doing a wardrobe makeover, totally redecorating your room or apartment, etc.? You will distract them (and yourself) and supply a different topic of conversation to attract them again. Besides...you may find that you learn about and like new aspects of yourself. You are more than alopecia, you know!

I know it doesn't seem like it now, but it will get better. Remember that you are not just the hair on your head. I know this pain. I have never met you but please know you will be into thoughts and prayers tonight.
