Frustrated

So of course Im steal dealing with the hair loss growing but what makes it worse is that I wish my boyfriend would talk to me about it. How he is feeling or just would recognize my feelings on the matter and how hard it has been for me. I asked him why he doesnt talk about it and he said that it just isnt all the important or life threatening so there is no need to throw around emotions. Ugh!! Seriously...I'm starting to wonder how important it needs to be to talk about it. If I had somewhere to go I swear I would just walk right out the door.

So anyway yesterday I decided I would get a hair cut. This whole experience being new for me I felt like I was in a dental office awaiting torture. I could not even believe I would consider cutting any hair as I'm fighting to keep it. But I figured I needed to show my hair some love becuase it seems to be giving me attitude on a daily bases. The hair dresser was really nice to me and I explained to her about alopecia so she wouldnt be freaked out when she saw the spots. Well that didnt help she was so nervous and didnt know what to say. I think she was bewildered because she said that she has never seen alopecia only read about it in books. So I kindly told her that I was honored to be her first. :)

Right now Im just listening to music and trying to calm down from my day. Very thankful I have the next few days off becuase I have been running on empty for the last two weeks. My son just started 2nd grade and he is doing so well and Im so proud of him. School has been a struggle and it seems he just now might be catching on. Love you all and goodnight!!

Oh and I forgot to mention that while I was getting my hair cut it kept tangling all over the place in knots. My hair had never done that. I wonder if that is a part of the alopecia?

Never heard of the tangle part, but texture can change.

As to wanting one particular non-alopecian to be able to listen to ALL your thoughts on it, no matter where or when: give him a break. He is probably scared, and is scared to even tell you he is scared. Let him join the non-alopecian group on this site, but if you find that he wants to talk of other things and emotions, then save your alopecia talk for here and give him a breather! Is he worth keeping otherwise? Or have you been having doubts? Go to couples counseling!

:) I wish he would just talk in general about other stuff besides alopecia. I also wish that he would help me continue to run the household and do normal things in a positive attitude which is what I have been trying to do even though it is wiping me to the bone. Im sure its just like you said with him being scared but this is a pretty normal response for him in any situation and that did give me doubts before. I know what I have to do I just need some strength. Thank you for allowing me to vent and sharing the other side point of view :)
