Having a tantrum and feel like a 2 year old
Well, what can I say? I hang my head about my shameful, childish behaviour today. What a tantrum I had. Even threw my wig over the balcony into the garden 2 floors below. The reason? I have washed it 3 times in the last week trying to get it not to bunch up in the back. I don't know why it is doing this, it rarely happens. It is a remy hair wig and usually I don't have this problem. I am over it!
Since I lost (and found) my virgin Freedom hair wig I have felt so insecure about myself. It's ridiculous I know. I've had AU (with limited regrowth) for many years actually over 25 years and here I am acting like a baby. Am I stressed? Yes! But not about alopecia, but I can't do a damn thing about the other situations so alopecia becomes my focus. Does this happen to anyone else? I feel like a crazy person and had to vent. Just goes to show that although I deal with my alopecia pretty well, it can still send me for a loop.

Pat, Stop being so hard on yourself! I don't know why some people think it is supposed to get easier as time goes by. Actually, in some ways it gets hard. Think about it--the more time that goes by with this condition, the longer we have had to deal with the stress and strain that goes with it. You are not crazy; you are completely normal. AND, you are probably doing better than most people would in terms of dealing with it.

Yeh thanks everyone, I'm much better now. It's been a rough few years and I usually hold it together ok. Not beating myself up anymore.

Pat, I do know the feeling. I remember a similar instance right before my sister wedding and I was trying to apply fake eyelashes for the event. The frustration was high and I remember throwing the brows and bursting into tears. I do love the visual of throwing the wig off the balcony though ;)

I hate to go off topic. I hope you feel better pat. Alopecia is nasty while disease. In some form it's worse than normal disease living a pseudo normal life can be frustrating. This is what I mean though. You people are in your 40s and 50s and still struggle with this. Yet you expect a guy a in his 20s to be ok with being bald and not getting girls/failing at dating.
