I wish that I could tell you that you will someday get over it...what I can tell you is that it does get easier:) The most important thing is to have people around you who love and support you. For me that came in my friends. Not that my family didn't love me, but they were suffering just as I was. It was/is my friends that give me strength now (and my husband). I have had alopecia for about 23 years, it definitely took a while but there came a point in my life where I just stopped worrying so much about what others thought about me, and focused on what I thought about me:) That is when the break through happened! I took the strength that my friends were giving me and used that to find the person inside of me that I really liked:) Find comfort here, we all understand exactly what you are going through! Be strong:)

Read my thoughts and know my sweet girl, you are not alone. Maybe when your turn that computer off and resume life, yet understand there are millions of us who have the same stories, the same experiences with hair loss and we are really not alone. It is society who doesn't understand, and oneday some of those who don't right now might come to know by hearing about hair loss "Alopecia" or those same people we fear to be seen by might also lose thier hair. So remember here you are not alone. Only in your own heart you know aloneness cause nobody can and will understand unless it happens to them.
Cry, scream and let it out ...and then look at yourself to see the beautiful you, the you you are missing out on, the you who is worried about what others think. The worry your wig will come off and the fear so deep it stops you from experiencing the rest of your life. Do not waste your life away at the expense of others perception...."DON'T"
