Hallo Linda I think , alopecia is caused by
a genetic component and stress .
A lot of people have stress, but not everybody get alopecia, who has a stress.
A lot of people,who has alopecia , hade not a stress before( for example some small children here, who has good parents).
Stress is one of the reasons for alopecia.
Well, I can't give much insight on how to deal with dating anxiety, because I struggle with that myself. What I can give however, is feedback that I think you are being too concerned about it. You are very attractive, which I'm sure many guys will see. You may have to work a little harder to find those guys, but I'm sure they're out there for you.
Thanks for the friend request. Reading your page, it sounds like you do a pretty good job keeping a good attitude about AU. I know it can be tough. I've been bald for about 10 years now, so it is not big deal for me anymore, but the first year had challenges. Whenever I got down, I would remind myself of all the far worse conditions I could have.
New Hampshire requires insurance companies to pay for wig coverage for hair loss caused by "(1) various forms of alopecia and (2) injury."

Linda, you must be feeling terribly isolated - or at least until you found Alopecia World. I had my hair until almost age 55, so we had similar experiences. I, too, didn't know anyone else. Have a good time browsing through the discussions and photos here - it's really wonderful. Check out the Group "Sisterhood of Women Who Shaved" to meet some really neat women. It took me the better part of a year to come to a place of acceptance and relative peace with my baldness. Hang in there.
Hi Linda, I wanted to welcome you to Alopecia World. I can honestly say that we are a great community here and I hope you enjoy the time you spend with us.
Hello and welcome, Linda!
You are beautiful! But I know how hard alopecia can be; I have had it for about 30 years. Let me know if you need help or support. One thing that you might be interested in is my book, written for women, called "If Your Hair Falls Out, Keep Dancing!" (It just won two national awards!) It has a lot of good info in it, it can answer many questions, and it's a fun read, too. You can find out more on my page. It's available on Amazon.com, and on this site under "Bookshelf."
Let me know if there's anything else I can do! I am here to help.
