Not fair

I thought i was coping with this ok... i thought i was accepting it... but today was bad, we are going out to the bar tomorrow, and its the first time since i shaved my head. i barely wear my wig now because i hate the feeling of it so much, so i figured i could find something to wear to make it look amazing without hair.. but everything looks ten times better when i put my wig on... i picked out a dress, and then put the wig on and my friends said, and i also agreed, that it looks way better! But i hate it... i just cried.. its not fair.. why cant i have hair... even if at some point it does grow back its going to take forever to grow in.. to the length i want.. Am i ever going to be able to accept this.. how long does it take because im tired of feeling that i look like an idiot

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? :)

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:)

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!

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 :)
