My first blog... Alopecia WING!

Well I have had an eventful year... GCSE year has caused me much greef because they arn't just Grades they are my ticket to moving out of my messed up home and moving in to one which i can finally say is my own... My family is completly messed up, involved abuse, death, liars and mental illness.
This year has been the probably one of the worst I have ever been through and then the diagnoses of Alopecia to top it all off! I know so many people go through it but i still feel isolated like noone will understand and i cannot even bare to look at my own head because it freaks me out!
I hate it when people who do not understand Alopecia make th diagnoses that its stress related and no matter how much you try and explain it to people they refuse to understand it and continue on with their useless information. I am not a Istress ful person i smoke shit loads of weed so im am calm as many!
I just want to know how other people stay possitive with this! Because i cant even talk about it without getting upset and i want to talk about it and get it off my chest... I found another patch forming and i cant even tell anyone! Can someone tell me if you experience the feeling of anger when you think about your hair and the self pitty you feel... I wish that it wasnt just mental pain you experience from this desease i wish it hurt more then in yourself because then i would have a reason to complain like those who suffer illnesses.

Hi Autumn sounds like you've had your fair share of crap over the years and now alopecia to cap it off! I know all about the frustration of people giving their opinion and useless advice...it still irritates me at times but it used to make me feel like I'd brought my alopecia on myself! I also couldn't look at myself in the mirror without thinking I looked like a freak...I felt like a freak most of the time! The ones closest to me couldn't help me and they irritated me too! Keep blogging here, venting etc...most of us if not all of us have felt exactly the same as you at some point. We need to get all the crap out before we can start feeling better about ourselves. Getting used to our changed appearance takes a lot of time. I'm sorry you're having such a difficult time with everything else going on too...life just throws stuff in our face. I've been faced with all the other difficulties you've mentioned and it isn't easy to find a positive. Acceptance is the key, to accept yourself as you are and make the best of the situation.
