I noticed today a new self- talk pattern that puts in question my self- worth. I have said this inside:"What if retail security followed me because if my mohawk? What if my hairloss did not happen; would she have put me down so often? What if my baldness angered him to rape me?"

Thanks for the encouragement. The rape issues is too recent to let go of because I just reported last night. I have to remind myself that being a Psychotherapist, Psy.d , does not mean that knowledge of psychological processess , personal growth, grief/loss; ect., can ever replace the needing to just be
Within my present moment ; intrapsychic space. For me ( this my personal dichotomous journey , not just baldness,: I have to become " lost' to truely know within me- when I am found by me.

Yeah... I have these thoughts a lot. Not just about hair loss, but a lot of things in general. The thing is, we can get lost in these what ifs and lose sight of the here and now, I think. I was writing to a friend I made on this site and she really opened my eyes about this.
