It isn't fair and it hurts Erica...... but listen to some of the more experienced folks on here :) Like you I'm still getting used to my bald or wigged look and it's so stressy! and I just got dumped because my boyfriend couldn't cope with the hair loss and how I've changed *sigh*

I lost all my hair within 10 days in July of this year, then by September my eyebrows and eyelashes were gone too. I'm not a scarf wearer and find the wigs get so itchy and hot! man.. I never used to take this long when I had long auburn hair :) Arg!!!!! But STAY STRONG and keep venting on here. My way of dealing with things at the mo is to just go with the flow and try and surround myself with people that care for me... Peeeeeace out :)

It will get better! Just take baby steps. There is light at the end of the tunnel and you are not alone! Wigs helped me. You said you hate the feeling of the wig... Is it the cap of the wig or the wig fibers? I think the more you wear it, the more you will get used to it. Sometimes I forget that I am wearing a wig!

Love Grandma Kay's advice as well! I know it's difficult, but be strong, be encouraged, and know that you are not alone. It is what it is, but don't let it get you down. Try to remain positive, and keep in mind, that you are beautiful, no matter what:)

Soz, Erika, but when it comes to winning the Lottery, you're waaaaay behind me in the queue... but seeing as it's you, here's what I'll do. When I win, I'll buy you a couple of Freedom wigs. How's that? Deal? Great! The only thing is, I get to choose the style and colour.... (insert evil laugh here)
Now, does being bald really look so bad? It's a lot better than some hairstyles, right? :)

I really do appreciate all the comment and some really do make me feel better, knowing everyone has days like this... getting a wig is not so easy on me as I am 21, huge student loan to pay off, working minimum wage jobs.. saving for a wig is not something very easy to add to my list of payments... but now it has become a priority so its hard to decide whats needed and whats want, I just try to force myself to be happy with what i have and forget about the wig, but then i go out and get a funny look or something and then it all goes back to wanting the wig... i have a synthetic and i dont like it, it is soo itchy, im hoping to get the money for a freedom wig soon but its hard, my parents have been helping so much money wise during the past little while even before the hair stuff so asking them for even more money is just not something i can do... everyone always says this, but i just need to win the lottery!!

Erika, I feel the same way. I shaved my head this last spring after being confronted with Alopecia for the first time in my life. It felt so liberating to take control over something that had total control over my hair. But I still have days when I feel so down, when I just want my hair back! The other day I had to fight tears while on my way to work, frustrated with not getting my false lashes on right, then deciding to go without. Eventually though, my focus became work and not myself, so I just plug away and carry on. I guess this is all part of the process of acceptance. Hang in there.
