Hello, I have been dealing with this for the past 20 years. 12 years ago I shave what was left of my hair. Today I can say that was the first day of my new life. Funny how something I thought was negative change my life for the best. From introverted I became extroverted, I didn't want to look like a victim, so I decide to act as if didn't matter that I was bald. After few months, I realized that I did not care anymore.

I never worn a wig, it was not me. When I went looking for a job, I told them that I was not sick and that if they didn't like my look, it was too bad, I wouldn't change. I got the job, they told me that they like my attitude and confidence. Today I'm teaching Pension plan and Group Insurance in a call center.

I have friends and a family who love me the way I am. One important thing that they made me realized after all these years is that I am much more than hair. I am a whole person and every morning when I looked in the mirror, I'm proud of what I am.

It's much easier to accept that to fight against that desease. I channeled my energy into acceptance instead of fighting.

Be happy and people will love you the way you are. :-)

I am bald, proud and beautiful!! I am an Alopecia survivor, and it has made me a stronger woman. I love to wear wigs, scarves and hats, but I also like going bald.
