Don't know why it upset me so much
The other night we were at a night club that our uni goes to every Wednesday and is usually a really good night. When we were on the dance floor we were dancing in a group and so had our backs to other people and then a couple of boys behind us started fighting. I didn't realise until my wig got pulled off and it was in the middle of them as they were fighting. I felt so humilated and so panicked, it's my nhs wig and as a student I can't afford another wig for £250. My lovely fiance got in the middle of the boys and grabbed my wig back but I was still really upset. I don't know why because everyone I was with knew about my alopecia and sometimes I go out bald, all last week in fact, and wear head scares loads etc. I don't know if it was just the shock or the fact that my wig was taken off not under my terms but it's really knocked my confidence.

Sorry to hear about that Lyndsey. You were exposed and not by choice. Had you walked in without your wig then that would have been your choice and it would have had a different outcome all together. Don't let it get you down, chin up girl.

I agree with Susan, it was shockingly unexpected and out of your control. I would have been mortified as well. Try to put it behind you and don't let it knock you down!
hugs!

When I was 12 years old and in class one day, a very ignorant substitute teacher pulled my hat off of my head without warning, exposing my hair loss, the entire class laughed at me, it was very humiliating. Not long after that I decided to say the hell with it and never hide my bald head again, it was challenging, but taking that step changed me forever. It was my very first step at controlling my fear and accepting who I was and realizing how superficial having hair really is. Your story reminded me of that time in my life. We are a unique clan of people, don't be ashamed of who you are and remember, you are not alone. Cheers!
