Here we go again
So my hair has been doing pretty well at least so I thought. I still have a lot of patches, however I have been able to conceal it with my own hair. I went to get my hair done by a stylist who claimed that he specializes in working with clients who have alopecia (I am convinced that those people don't exist). He used some Brazilian technique to put some tracks in to cover my patches. That was a huge mistake. It was so uncomfortable not to mention I had just gotten injections the day before. I am usually very vocal with stylists, I'm not sure why I went with the flow this time. However, I just took them down myself and as I am running my hands through my hair handfuls are coming out. The emotional strain that this condition puts you through is sometimes more than I would like. I don't want to have a pity party for me and my hair because it could be worse and there are people dealing with worse, but I just want a break from AA. I have been dealing with this since I was 12 years old. As I ran my fingers through my hair I noticed that my patche are getting larger and my scalp is tender to touch...this is usually a sign of more hair loss to come for me. So I guess all in all I am one frustrated woman with this AA. Please dear AA, please go away at least for one full year. I have been dealing with you for 16 years and I am not your friend,so can I please have a break from you to figure out how I can best cope with you? Right now you are a constant thorn in my side. Thanks, Jasmine.

You have my understanding, prayers and hugs, Jasmine. The "take it day by day" approach is a good and healthy one. And please do not demean the condition by saying that there are worse things in the world. Of course that is true but you have a right to your grief and emotions. You will be OK even when the valleys seem so deep. Blessings, Sweet One.

It sucks. I hate it, and I'm not even the one suffering with it. My daughter is turning 12 tomorrow and is going through hell. It started falling out a few months ago and has really accelerated. She has enough hair left on her head to make one ponytail as thick as a pencil. She hates the wig but she won't go out without it. She says the hats we got her make her look like a cancer victim. Some days I wonder if we will survive this.
I can't imagine the next 16 years. You must be a very strong person.

Sarahs mom- your daughter will survive this and although your pain as a mom watching her daughter go though something so tough is hard she needs you to convince her she too is strong and beautiful like other women on this site. She is at a critical age where looks are everything, so you are fighting a tough battle but Keep working at showing her how others survive AND thrive despite their issues. Don't hesitate to look to counselling too if you feel it is warranted.
