rude people!!!
why do people think they have the rite to ask me why am i wearin a bandana, or why am i lookin like a pirate, how rude and insensitive can people get,
dont they realise how difficult it is livin without any hair, my confidence is at its lowest now, ive had some1 tell me ive put on weight or i look terribly pale, i just want to be accepted for who i am,
im not any different apart from havin no hair, i have feelings and these small minded people dont realise how much it hurts wen they ask silly questions,
i went bak to work thinkin that gettin out the house would be the best thing, but ive felt alot worse since leavin my house, sometimes i dont know how im gonna cope with this, until my friend calls me and says everything will be alrite, but its so hard to believe it, still waitin for my wig so im hopin that gives me more confidence to get thro this horrible difficult time, no 1 i know understands how much im hurtin inside how much i long for my hair to grow bak, wen i feel stubble i get so excited but then realise its probably the hair i shaved off so again im sad, i feel i had to rite this down as i cant tell any1 all this as they dont understand wat i mean,
prayin that one day this will all be over and can lead a normal life.

Hi Lynne,
I know how tough this is for you. I was hoping returning to work was going to help you feel better.
Stay close to your loved ones and they will support you through this crappy time.
Big Hugz,
Jeffrey

Im sorry...people can be jerks! Im sure the new wig will help with your confidence though. It helped me so much when I got mine. Maybe get a cheap one untill yours comes? Its very unfortunate that society places all these standards on hair..and looks in general...its BS! Stay strong!

Life sucks right now...but it gets better, easier...well - sometimes. The best thing you can do right now is try not to get any more down on yourself. It will only make things worse for you
Get used to responding to rudeness with rudeness....
for instance:
Them: "My, you look terribly pale":
You: "Whatever" (then show them 'the hand')
When people ask me if I'm wearing a wig I tell them flatly "NO". Even if it is as obvious as the sun in the sky. If people are rude enough to ask, then I can be rude enough to lie!!!
In the meantime, if it helps at all, do like Lee says and get a cheap wig in the meantime...if that is not for you then lose the headwrap, throw on some blusher, a little eyelener, roll on some lipgloss and let the world suck it!

I know how rude people can be as well. This one woman at my daughters school saw my daughters bald spots and asked me if she had cancer. My daughter is so young that it really doesnt bother her. I just worry about the future when she becomes a teenager and how she will handle it. Things will get better for you. You just have to take it one day at a time.
