Heartbroken...just noticed I'm loosing my new baby hair

I have to allow myself to be this sad for just a day or two. I been so strong since I got diagnosed with AA 5,5 months ago. But i dont want to be strong right now. I want to cry and scream and be mad.

9 months ago, i was a Beautiful bride, marrying my best friend. As happy as could be. Unfortunately, my best friend happen to be American so 1,5 year ago I also left my family and my home country Sweden to live with him. It was so hard for me the first year, but Life was finally turining around, and then... a month after, i got AA. Fucking great.

That brought more stress in my Life, and made me miss my family even more. My husband is my biggest support, and i love him to pieces. Right now im in Sweden and will finally reunit with him in a few Days, after 5 weeks apart. (hes a touring musician).

I started to getting regrowth pretty fast, and even though I knew it could fall off again, It was my biggest hope right now. And even if i told my family not to be to excited abt my new hair, because we might just be disappointed, i was probably the one most excited of them all. But just in secret. And then today... with only two Days left with my family. I'm noticing that my cute baby hair falling off. and very qucik. And im so so sad. I hate not knowing what this means?

Is it possible it might grow out again? or am I facing being bald for Life? I been Crying so much im shaking. I just wanted to keep my new hair. I dont understand why it had to fall out already. Im mad. This disease is stupid.

And i know i have so  much to be grateful for.... I know and I am everyday. and I know I will be okay eventually.

But today..... im fucking sad.

Malin,

Go to www.naaf.org for details, and Google or research online the 2010 studies for alopecia. It is probably in your genes, and maybe got triggered by stress or something in the environment. No one knows a cure yet, but with genetics, it was always lurking inside you even if other family members didn't get this gene set. Yes, this condition (not a catchy disease) IS "stupid." I have known of it within myself for 50 years.

Malin, you have every reason to be so sad. I'm so sorry... I agree with what Tallgirl and heide posted.. Use the NAAF website and network to connect with others and get information. Of course it is possible your hair will grow back. VERY possible. Expect the best possible outcome, but make a plan for the worst. And vent outloud to those you love and trust. Acting like you are fine when you are so mad about this loss is not good... BREATHE...
