Hi, i've just recently joined this website since my mum reccomended it to me. I was recently told i had alopecia areata and i have lots of bald spots around my head and a big patch on the back of my head- luckily they aren't visible but i'm worried that they might grow bigger. I worry about anything and everything and i cry whenever i develop a new patch. When i looked at this website and saw the hundreds of other people who are experiencing the same as me and maybe worse i felt so much better! All of you guys are seriously beautiful wig or no wig, which has made me feel that no matter what happens, i'm okay. I love this website and it's making me very slowly feel more comfortable with my alopecia. Maybe i'm not comfortable just yet and i might still cry whenever i get a new patch, but i'm still on my way. I've had steroid injections which i love and i'm having more today! Thank you everyone for being so brave and helping me get used to what i have :).
