"Please Don't"

“Please Don’t”

Just for now,
Please don’t tell me that “its just hair” because it is much more than that.
Please don’t tell me that “hopefully it will grow back” because that doesn’t matter right now.
Please don’t tell me I look pretty without, because I do not believe you.
Please don’t tell me that “you thought you noticed something different about me”, because I'm already self-conscience enough.
Please don’t tell me you knew I was wearing hair that’s not my own, because that will break me into pieces.
Please don’t give me well intentioned advice on “how to handle this” because its different for everyone and I am just holding on.
Just be here and be my friend.

its such a mystery of emotions in the beginning. I thank God im not there now, but the reason I wrote this was bc the other day a dumb friend of mine said he had noticed "something different" before I has told him.I realized even though I have had no hair for 10 years and am very open about it i still am affected by peoples words. this wasnt a cry or a poor me just raw and real and this is exactly how i felt and many of us feel when we loose ALL our hair, lashes, brows etc... you think loosing head hair is hard, wait till your lashes and brows go.
Alopecia does not identify me Christ does.Psalms 139:14yes it

I love what you said! I feel exactly the same! No one, no one, knows what you feel unless they have had to deal with Alopecia!
I don't care how confident and strong we are - it's still heart breaking!
Love you for sharing your honest feelings!
