My friends say that I tend to be a little dramatic. I have lost not as much hair as most people have here on this site that I have seen. I decided that I wanted to make sure I had some power. I lost most of my hair in the back in silver dollar size maybe bigger. The front of my head is thinning that for me its the the same like it was months ago before all this. Maybe it has always been thinning but it got worse with in the past 4 months. Anywho, the whole point of this rambling post is that i was told i can be a bit dramatic. I could of kept my hair, styled it so no one would notice and not worry about going to the pool or beach with my kids. To be honest I feel better with my new wigs but I still feel self conscious like I did before I shaved my head. See with the patches and thinning I felt like the world could see it and with the wigs I feel the same. Maybe it takes time but I need to know this is normal at first. I just want to make sure I am not dramatic and being as everyone says, Anna. Yes Im a verb in my family and with my friends. If it is normal does it go away? If it is normal how do other people combat it? I read a lot of blogs that explained about synthetic wigs and real hair in water. I havent had much money to buy the best wigs, my friend helped me pick two good synthetics for under 40. And i read as long as I dont dunk my head Ill be fine. So Im hoping my kids will understand why mommy cant swim underwater with them on my back or get my hair wet. Im hoping that the trip will make me feel better with people i will never see again and new people who dont know me. I am hoping this feeling of being looked at cus Im wearing a wig or I feel like they know will go away. I hope one day it will. I ramble here because this is one place I am hoping others get it. Others will just read and either feel like i am complaining over nothing or have advice or just say yes its normal, this too shall pass.
Thanks for reading.
