yeah i know its hard and as long as i have no hair i will always hate it, and kristen thanks for ur message this site is the best ever as i can express how i feel without bein judged, my boss is sufferin kidney failure at the moment so wen she talks about her illness i do feel lucky i dont have something much worse but then i still feel like it couldnt get any worse for me, selfish i know but my hair was the best part of me, ive had amazin comments all my life of how lovely it was, so im hopin that this regrowth i have on my head which is growin more on the top than anywhere else is a gd sign, but my eyebrows have thinned out quite a bit, so just worried incase i wake up one day and my eye lashes go aswell, its so scary that u dont know wat can happen the next day, just a constant worry, and sue i know exactly how u feel i would love if there was people near where i lived so i could meet up with them, hope ur all ok, thanks again, x

Meeting other bald women was life-changing for me. I thought there were some other women on AW in the Edinburgh area...maybe I'm thinking of other areas of Scotland. Have you checked on all the members on AW?

Vent hun be ticked off about your loss. I hate it as well. Every bit that comes with it.
You have the right to feel however you feel at any given moment.
Telling our doctors how we feel is accepting there is a problem. When I am in the anger mode I do not want to accept my condition. I want my hair back!
So, as you said you do not have the guts to tell your doctor how you feel. I so understand.
Lol, with me it would not come out lady like. I just hold it inside most times.


People who are not in your shoes do not know what to say sometimes.
So the "Your so strong comes out." Mainly because they want you to be strong and have no real idea if you are ok inside.
When all you want to hear is "I am so sorry for your loss." "Or even nothing about it at all."

I have wanted to smack people for telling me how strong I am.
While I smile at them and say thank you. I trully want to scream at them.
Because I am having a pity party day!
LOL, It is my right to have my self pity days!

I am TOTALLY with you on this. I know baldness is more acceptable for guys in society but when I shaved my head the 1st time in highschool, I had nothing but stares and glares... I felt like I did something ultimately wrong. And it hurt me everyday and I didn't go back to school until I regrew my hair long enough to hide the balds spots once again. Im 24 now and no matter what, I feel this is all our own war that we have to win within. Although I don't know you nor anyone else here, if you're all in to beat your insecurities, I'll go all in too.

Hi,
Thank you for adding me to your friend list. I have sent a message to you....
I have just been reading your messages..Hope you dont mind... I seen the one that you posted after drink you said...well they say the truth comes out after a drink... But... I can see you felt a little bad for saying it but you also glad you said it.. Its off your chest... I dont have hairloss but I was brought up in a world with my mum who had hairloss.. She never spoke to anyone about it..Not even my dad...I know she tried to do harm to herself many times but when I was little I never understood why.. I joined the site to tell people about the wig donation site I have opened in memory of my mum but have been informed I am not allowed to place the site link here...Never mind... Anyway..I have also looked at your photos and you are a very pretty young lady with or without your hair. As I have never had hairloss but have spoken to so many people about this type of problem, because I run a hairloss sites for a few years untill msn closed their groups. All ages male and female. Like you say you notice everyone is looking at you because you have hairloss ....But ..they maybe also looking because you are younge and attractive...So next time someone looks at you give them a nice big smile and just watch their responce...Please let me know what it is....
If you ever feel down and need a chat you know where I am....
Once again thank you for making me your friend on this site...
Julie.
