Alopecia World
Where acceptance is all there is!
This is the worst day I've had in a long time
This is the worst day I've had in a long time. I spent two hours in the bathroom looking at and playing with my hair to try and figure out how bad it might look in public. I know I shouldn't care. Sometimes I do and sometimes I don't. I hate listening to my friends fuss over how they hate their hair when all I see is thick beautiful hair on their heads. My husband says I'm the only one who really notices. Maybe that's true. I wish I could just shave my head and feel like it would be socially acceptable... so no one would look at me and wonder if I was a cancer patient. Ok...enought feeling sorry for myself. Time to get up and get something positive done today!

I think what your feeling is perfectly valid, the loss of your hair is a traumatic loss and any loss should be grieved. People do notice because a bald woman stands out way more than a bald man, we husbands don't notice love blinds us. For a long time I was somewhat dismissive of what Pat was feeling and it took a lot of talking for me to understand what the consequences of Pats alopecia were, plus also chatting in here helped as well. Hang in there it might not get better but it will get easier.
