BIG GIANT STEP
Well tonight I took the plunge and grab the clippers. After my mom and I went wig shopping and wearing it all day, I got home and took it off and looked in the mirror and decided enough is enough. I cant continue to see myself in a negative light. So when I went to the barn to do the night feed for the horses, I grabbed the clippers. I was shocked to see how much hair I actually have lost from the alopecia and it definitely brought to light how much I was hurting myself by trying desperately to hold on to the little hair I had left. Im celebrating and/or mourning just a bit with a glass of wine right now. I think Im still in abit of shock. I cant stop running my hands over my head. LOL

Thank you all. If it wasnt for this site and hearing all your wonderful stories I dont know if I would have made such a brave step. I feel that I have taken control of something that was taking control of not only my body but my mind. You all such beautiful courageous wonderful people.
Like you Emma, I do wish that I had my eyelashes back but I do enjoy not having to shave or wax anything LOL
Thank you again
