Going through a rough time again i suppose. I haven't been on this site in the longest time. I think it's like if i do then it's me admitting i have alopecia. Which in all honesty makes no sense whatsoever, because i'm completely bald...When i go out i wear a wig and a hat or scarf over it. I think it looks too fake if there isn't any "decoration" to it. If i'm just at home i wear just a winter type cap/hat. I feel miserable everyday. I feel like i've lost myself. I want my hair back. Why can't i be normal again. I have so much other stuff going on in my life that i have to deal with. Why me, why this on top of it all? I've been going through this for almost 3 years now. I've paid my dues. I'm ready to be done with it all. Please can't it just grow back....

i have the same feelings as you, but i've been dealing with it since i was 14 and entering my freshman year of highschool, i am now 31!
i think about it daily, why me? is there are cure yet? when is enough, enough?
i, like you, have something on my head at all times. i can't stand the thought of going out in public bald! i don't know how some people on this site, just don't seem to mind.
just hang in there, hopefully there will be a cure sometime in the near future!

About 47 years for me, off and on. I now numbly accept it, with bouts of sadness only every five years as opposed to daily in my teens. I don't think we are the ones who get to choose what we are "done with." Normal is what goes on most for us, so in time, alopecia may be what has become "normal" to our part of the population. The problem is, we are so spread out and hidden. There's no Alopecia Colony where we can moan while wrappings trail from our heads. Flash! We can walk among The Haired in our beautiful disguises and work on the internal strengths in ways The Outer Shells cannot! And in the end, who will have better stories and virtues to share?

some people were able to reach that level of acceptance that some of us havent been able to acheive yet. i am having a hard time right now with this but i also know i dont want to feel this way for the rest of my life. we will get thru this,i hope that both of us will soon see the light at the end of the tunnel and that some day soon we can look in the mirror and smile.

We all share your pain and we all want our hair back. While there is no known cure at this time, there is great promise of finding one real soon through ‘Stem Cell’ research that is going on at full swing right now I totally believe that in a few years, 5 at most, we will have a cure. So hang in there.
