Worried and would love some support
about five years ago i was diagnosed with alopecia areata and had about 3 bald spots that were completely hidable. I was going through a really stressful time in life and i completely associated my bald spots to that. it went away and the spots grew back completely(i also was a lot less stressed out) got back to my breezy self. it came back about two years after that a little bit worse(also at a time of stress, when i had just gotten pregnant) but that too grew back completely. now, after i already had my first baby, and suddenly im stuck with mommy worries, my alopecia is back at full swing, im losing tons of hair more than ever. will it grow back? or do all alopecia areata stories end up alopecia totalis? im losing hair all over my scalp, i have a very large spot in the back of my head and its starting at my hair line. how do i know what will be? im worried and would love to hear your experiences!

Thank you so much for asking this question. My daughter was diagnosed over 7 months ago and I keep wondering the same thing. Every time I look at this site it seems like everyone on this site ends up with alopecia totalis/universalis. I find that I have to take breaks from reading all of the blogs because it seems like no one stays with alopecia areata. I look forward to seeing the feedback from the question.

I would say that this site should attract anyone with an Alopecia diagnosis and provide support to anyone that needs it. Please don't let comments from anyone discourage you from seeking the support that you need; it doesn't matter if they say "it's just hair" or if you don't have AU or AT. I have had AA for about 7 years now and my story is much like yours. In the past year I have lost almost all of the hair on the right side if my head and it is now wrapping around to the left. I do have some regrowth on the right now, but it is limited. I have found over the years that while I have largely accepted this, I do go through spells where I really struggle with it. Thus, I have now joined this site in search of support and an opportunity to talk to people who understand and support others. If you need anything, let me know.
