Where is the play button!

I've been trying to handle my hair loss, taking the bull by the horns so to speak. Telling my self "I can handle this", "I'm going to be fine" (fine as in all right not as in it's going to grow back). Pragmatic, realistic, positive. It's very typical me.

But I'm fed up, tired, like i got the wind knocked out of me. I'm not fine, I'm sad.

It's been a year since I lost my hair and I feel like my life hit a wall. Someone pressed the pause button that day, and I can't find play. I try to start over, over and over again but life just keep knocking me down.

I lost my hair and I got a job, they had to let me go because of the recession. Found another one and that company went bankrupt. I can't catch a break. I have to live of my savings, the money I've been saving to by my own place. Now I have to start all over again, for the third time, if I can just find a job that is.

They say what doesn't kill you make you stronger, but how strong should one person have to be. It's not like I wasn't strong before. I've been through some though times in my life even before I lost my hair, I feel like i have the life experience of someone twice my age.

So universe, how strong do you need me and where is the play button?

Maybe universe wants to change something about you,or maybe you don't listen carefully to it.

This disease is a rollercoaster ride Marinetta...for all of us. Ive certainly had some serious lows but my saving grace was acceptance! When I stopped asking why and spending countless hours looking for a cure/treatment, things changed for me. Once I finally accepted this is what I have, which of course could always be worse, I was able to take the huge step of shaving what hair I had left and buying a wig. For the first time in 3 years alopecia hasnt consumed my every thought. I can put the wig on and totally go out feeling confident and beautiful. I also firmly believe the less you concentrate on the disease & the less energy and stress you put into it, the more likely you are to have re-growth. And if not, at least you will feel happier! Wishing you strength and courage.
