Yes u are having a very bad day. The only thing that is important is your spirit...not your body. I am learning that everyday. You need to listen to India Arie's song " I am not my hair". This song has brought my spirits up many times. You are a beautiful person and have a healthy life regardless of your baldness. Remember you are not the only one dealing with this issue, we are all in this together. You are not alone. Also, there are people suffering from far worse medical problems than Alopecia. Girl cheer up, tell yourself your beautiful and give your babies a big huge hug and kiss. They are your angels!! They could care less what you look like because you are Mommy...their angel. One positive thing that I took from having alopecia is that I can easily transform my looks in many different ways. There are so many wigs and makeup out here to help us enhance our beauty!

My darling girl, I am sorry you are suffering right now. I am sending you loving thoughts and energy. My mom died of cancer a few years ago, and she lost her hair in chemo. You know what I thought as I saw her bald? "I love you, Mom!" She was a hero as always in my eyes. That's how your kids see you. I hope you're feeling better by the time I post this, but if not, know you are appreciated by me.

*hugs* Hang in there hun, the bad day will go away - you know it will. And take Nicole's advice - if you need female empowerment music especially - India Arie is exactly where to turn. 'I am not my hair' and... what's her other song...
'Video' - great music.

Though - from the sounds of things 'Holding out for a Hero' from the Shrek 2 soundtrack might also help inspire and uplift - or maybe more make you want to kick arse :c)

*hugs* You've set yourself and your family some tough goals this year. Don't lose sight of the big picture.
