Need help! So many questions regarding wigs

Hi. I have recently lost my hair over 4 months. Its not coming back. I am distraught. I am having a very rough time wearing wigs esp. synthetic. I purchased a human hair wig and its pouring rain today. I was afraid to wear it outdoors. I wore a bandana and I look awful. This is pushing me over the edge. How do you cope with this? It broke my heart to take off my hair last night and put on a stand. This is making me want to die. I cannot go bare as I have scarring and its not for me. On th?e other hand neither are wigs. So if you are a f-t. Wig wearer. How many do you own? How do you deal with the synthetics I have purchased synthetics in the past and they look fake, they do not hold up.I have the cotton cap. What brand of synthetic is tolerable? What about hot humid summers? I am supposed to return to work and wonder how I will deal with this? I am super depressed and angry. Thank you for any support.

Thank you, I will check it out. May I ask, are you in total acceptance of your condition? I'm guessing so. I'm a newbie. Can't wait till I have lots of wigs to pick from.

Absolutely. I'm fine with it -- and it can be really fun...there are advantages, believe it or not!

Okay. What might the advantages be?

Trying fun new current hairstyles, and different lengths and colors; not having to spend hours in the AM doing your own natural hair (I just plop on a wig!), no monthly haircuts and expensive styling (unless you have a HH wig)...mainly just having fun with it instead of thinking of it as a bad thing! You will come to this point eventually, believe it or not, if you allow yourself to. But of course now you have to go through the natural process of grieving the loss. Be kind to your beautiful self.
