Last weekend
Last Weekend I decided to show my boyfriend what I look like when I am bald because he was getting frustrated about me crying because I have alopecia. He has always told me that he didn't care that I had alopecia, he only cared about how it made me feel. Sometimes I know that its hard for others to have empathy for what I'm going through everyday but they can be sympathetic. I only want to feel good about myself and I can't always because all I can think about is not having my own hair that I was born with. I have a photo in my room of what I looked like in high school; when I had my own hair. My boyfriend said I should take the photo down and take a recent picture of myself and put it up. That way, I can focus on who I am now instead of focusing on the past.

Have you had alopecia very long? May just need some time, explain that to him ; ) Just say you need time to accept it and thank him for being there for you. I appreciate my fiance so much. He has been amazing through all of this. Sounds like you have a good guy too!

Shereka, after reading your post I have one thing to say to you: you have an amazing guy if he's going to support you and your alopecia like that! Don't be ashamed of the person you are today, embrace it. I look at myself from my senior year in high school with MY long, brown curly hair and sometimes wish that I still had it too. On the other hand, I'm not ashamed of who I am now. Your hair doesn't make who you are, your personality does. Stay beautiful inside and out!!
