I was thinking about everything and wondering when it is that everyone noticed their first patch. Did it appear after a traumatic or stressful event? Was it completely out of the blue? Tell me your story.

Yes, it appeared after the worst time in my life, and no I don't want to talk about it. ( I did have a couple of minor spots in childhood, but lost it all after my whole world crumbled around me, and my life went to shit, all my dreams shattered blah blah blah).

I was in a really bad rollover in a truck and cracked my head open. Waited a few months for my head to heal to get my roots of my hair done. Went into my girl and she asked if hair had been ripped out of my head during the accident cus I was bald in 2 spots. Had a melt down right there in the salon lol

When my son was 3 years old I noticed my crown, the part in my hair was widening. I also noticed a dime sized bald spot behind my ear. This was 18 years ago. It took all that time to get to where I am now. My spots were so bad, I buzzed what was left of my hair off. I look and feel so much better.

My alopecia didn't start after an emotionally stressful time. But, it did start at the same time I was having pain due to an ovarian cyst. So, I guess that was a stress on me physically.

My first patch with totally out of the blue as far as I know. I did work at a very challenging job (middle school special education) and lost a wonderful teaching assistant because she didn't have seniority. The person who replaced her was difficult and the students didn't like her at all. So..... it may have begun with stress.
