I took the big step

I finally had the courage to shave the rest of my hair off.It has taken me a long time ,but after getting out the shower the other morning all of a sudden i said to my husband todays the day ,i am ready to take it off.I feel better now looking in the mirror i do have regrowth from steroid injections,and i am hopefull that my hair will come back. I feel that i have to look for the positive in all this turmoil, maybe god is teaching me patience, tolerance , kindness, to others? ummmm think i just answered that question.No matter what i am grateful that it is not life threatning as i have two wee girls and i am here for them.I love my life and i love myself.I wish all my Alopecia Family the very best life they can lead.

Thank you so much ladies for your input. It takes tIme to reach acceptAnce. It dosent mean I like it I can totally I'd with the handfuls of haIr coming out every day.its devastating now I don't have to go through that trauma.I also have two wigs but feel more like myself when I wear a bandana or a hat. ChefPAm your husbanD probably feels helpless because this is one thing he can't fix for you so try not to get mad, men are so different in my opinion to women as they just wAnt to fix their problems unfortunately this is one thing there is no easy Answer to. I feel your Pain and just think it really could be worse I used to think why me? Now I think why not me. We all have our life lessons to learn here on earth what do you think yours might be?Alice thank you for your beautiful comment. I would love to have you as a friend god bless us all .

You Rock! What you are really teaching is your 2 wee ones how to love others and to not assume. It is the best gift of all....... love for all that are different from you. You became a super heroin the moment you took it all off. You said the the world I AM THE BOMB! How free you must feel. Let your husband's warm hand run across your cool head and let love fly!!! Best wishes to you and your family. Peace and understanding.

That must feel good!!! I wish I could get to that place of peace. I am giving it everything I have. My husband thinks I still have enough hair to get by eventhough it falls out in handfuls, keeps me upset, gets thinner literally every day, can't be styled, etc. We go around and around about it. I got a wig and instead of supporting me he keeps saying I don't need it...it is so hard. I agree though, without my fam I don't know what I would do.
