HI Lynne, alopecia is a roller coaster ride, we're just hoping for more ups and than downs. You're not alone Lynne. Hang in there. It's also good to get in touch once in a while with some alopecia friends for coffee or tea...it will make us feel less lonely...

Its wonderful to read so many beautiful comments here isnt it?
take care

I'm sorry to hear you've been feeling down Lynn, I've been feeling kind of low myself. I went to the derm yesterday and even though I've had some regrowth he informed me that I'm the most severe case by far of any of his alopecia patients and that most people with as many spots as me "just give up." I'm thinking of gettting a second opinion. I also have high blood pressure and my Dr. wants to put me on meds for that and my triglycerites or whatever are a bit high. I'm only 29 years old and I already have all these health issues. I guess I should look on the bright side my health is good in every other way (knock on wood) It really pisses me off being bald though I F-ing hate it to be honest and I think it blows!

Hi Lynne. I so know how you are feeling. I was going through some photographs of a cruise I took a couple years ago and got so down looking at photos of me with a full head of long hair blowing freely. I miss being able to just go out without spending considerable time covering my massive spots or putting on a hat or worrying if my spots are showing through. We all go through our down times and there is nothing wrong with saying you are sad about it. I personally find it incredibly helpful to talk about it whether it's with friends, family or a counselor (I have all three). I also so appreciate your comment that "maybe helpin others will help me" cuz that is so true! You were the very first person to leave a comment on my page when I first signed up and that really touched me and I credit people like you on this website with really helping me deal with this. I'm sure I'm not the only one that can say that. Hang in there and know that we completely understand what you are going through.

thanks mary, i know its still early days, i was gonna go to a support group in glasgow but didnt go, i have sn on alopecia awareness that they help u set up ur own support group in my area, so gonna look into that, not sure if its for me but maybe helpin others will help me, its just people dont realise how much this affects u and tho i dont show it the never ask, i dont even tell my family how i feel im not very gd at talkin about my feelins, altho its easy on here as its written down,
anyway i hope im better wen i wake up 2moro, thanks again, x

As recently as about 6 months ago, I was still getting upset looking at other women's hair, and I even had to leave one place where I was seated behind a woman with really long full hair - I couldn't stand to stare ahead at it! I still look around at women's hair when I'm in public.

But, things change. Last Saturday night at folk dancing, I took ahold of a friend's waist-length pony-tail and flopped it over the top of my bald head and down my back, and acted like I was stroking my own hair. It got a laugh. I wouldn't have done that a year ago.

Hang in there.
