I totally agree with you 100% however I lost 3 friends ovr my hairloss i guess I didn;t fit into their click as you would say, i'm curenly on disability due to anxxiety disorder, I find myself playing inline games to keep my mind off of things, but that only works for due time, so I cant help but think too much and I know I shouldn't but I just do and this is where the problem comes in, but I do apreciate your opinion! :)

Yes Alice I take both anti-depressants and some pills to calm me down, problem is, my body is a fighter and no matter valume or xanax help nothing for me. This is why I find it so hard.
I am indeed going to start my grp thereapy, although it has nothing to do with hairloss but it will teach me to cope with stress, how to build my self-esteem! I am actually very escited to join something like this cause all Ivwant to do is feel better.
I;ve been dealing with social anxiety disorder snce I was 11 years old and only came out and got hlep last year.They tell me I have post dramatic stress disorder and with the loss of my hair it has gotten worst.This is why I am excited to start hopefully my new life and hope to come to the point where I dont give a damn what ppl whisper or even stare.
Thank-you Alice for sharing your comment:)

Hey Lisa, it happens. I've been dealing with this alopecia thing now for over 30 years. Had a really really hard time of it for years. I let it take control of my life, and boy did I miss out. Now that I have taken control of my life I am learning to live with my alopecia. Doesn't mean that I still don't have those days were I wish that I had hair, but I'm not obsessive about it anymore. When I feel myself getting depressed about my hair, or should I say lack of hair.....I tell myself that I am STRONG, I am O.K., I am BEAUTIFUL (even though I really don't think I am beautiful, but it helps if I tell myself I am :-)

Thank-you Petra,
I;ll have to keep that in mind, even though it is quite hard as it has only been roughly a year now and to me it still feels like yesterday,
I find my turbands quite cute and comfy but hell, after a while I get sick of it. I want to be all natural but afraid to do so in front of my fammily. Guess it's something i'll have to get over
pleasure to hear from you Petra

Hey, I still don't have the guts to go au natural in public.....I hope that one of these days I do. I usually wear scarves or hats when out and about and a wig when I go to work. Wearing scarves in public is pretty new to me, I just started doing that last year......I told myself enough is enough. I stopped doing so many things because I didn't want to do them in a wig and my life was just passing me by....I let alopecia control me...not any more though. Yeah, I still get these little anxiety attacks, but I just tell myself I'm O.K. The hell with what other people think...they don't have to live my life.

Hi Lisa-Lynn.... hey, everyone has ups and downs. But don't beat yourself up over stuff you didn't cause and that you can't do anything about.... there's already enough cr*ap in life!
Do what Petra does - she doesn't like to go out bald, so she puts on her special Hound Suit and goes out like that. In fact, that's a pic of her and her husband next to her comments. :)
Hiya Petra - you OK? Long time no chat.... this is where you delete me from your "Friends" list, methinks.... ;)

Comment by Petra on April 19, 2011 at 8:00pm

HA HA HA Yeah, the suit is great in the winter but get's way to hot in the summer...me thinks I will have to find something else to wear this summer...any idea's Norm?

Comment by Norm on April 20, 2011 at 12:18pm

Well, Petra, I was gonna suggest a cat-suit, but that's already been done to death... no, I reckon you should do what I told you last year - wear nothing - then no-one'll notice the bald head, oh no :)
Lisa-Lynn.... sorry for hijacking your post, but if girls ask for help, what's a guy to do??? :)
