Living in with Alopecia has it's good and bad days. For me, it's mostly good thank God. Today and probably the last few days though, I have really been missing my hair. :( I always try to stay positive about it and normally it doesn't bother me idk what's going on.

I just feel like crying about it. I feel like complaining about it. Wigs have seemed extra itchy and hot lately. They can get expensive and I can't always afford them. I sweat in my head mainly and am outside fairly often so that means I have to wash my wigs so often. I would not dream about just walking around with no wig. I don't think I'll ever get to that point.

I would give almost anything to be able to just throw my hair in a ponytail or a bun. To take a brush and brush it neatly in place. Or to put braids in it or rollers for a head full of curls. To even shampoo MY OWN HAIR.

*deep inhale exhale* I know that I am blessed in spite of having no hair. I will get my cry out then wipe away my tears like a big girl. Put my wig on and go about my day.

Sorry for my grammatically incorrect rant just had to get that out. :)

Amen to that! 99% of my days are good days, but there are those days when I just get frustrated and just really wish this wasn't my issue. I think the summer is when its the hardest to deal with. I struggle with taking my kids to the pool or beach and having to wear my "pool hair". Its hot and itchy and I feel foolish sitting on the beach with a wig on, but...wth. Anywho, thanks for ranting so I could jump on your bandwagon. :-) I'm done too

Yes Summer is definitely the most troublesome time to wear a wig.. especially when you sweat in your head like i do... thanks for joining me on the wagon for a minute! @Lashay

Totally Big Hugs :-) I know it took a lot of you to say anything. I'm sooo proud of you :-) But I want to let you know that God has not forgotten about you. You are truly blessed! :-) Every time you look in the mirror and don't feel like smiling - Smile because you ARE beautiful :-)
