I didn’t realize it was an autoimmune disease!!!! Do you have other kinds of autoimmune issues?! And do you still have hair growth then loss?! This is awesome you’re brave enough to share this challenge. Beauty doesn’t require hair and many need to hear that!!! L’Chaim!!!
Hi, just want to say you’re very beautiful! I can’t rock the bald Lol but you look stunning. I have alopecia areata but throughout the years has been becoming universalis. It’s been a rollercoaster ride. Ive had some very dark days that were hard to come back from but I’ve learned how to cope and talk about it without feeling embarrassed or breaking down; its made me humble and understanding of other peoples hurt. I’ve been told million of times “ its just hair, you can draw ur eyebrows, use fake eyelashes and a wig.. problem solved!” But the emotional toll Is hard to hide. I had a lady at the grocery store ask me which eyelashes would be better for her since she had none of her own.. I helped her and she noticed my hairless face up close then asked me.. “Are going through chemo too?”. It was a big eyeopener for me since It gave me a chance to see my condition in a different perspective. Of course I still have my ups and downs but I’m so thankful for my children, my husband, and my life because after all I’m “healthy” and Im alive.
I couldn't have said it better. Since starting my first year of college and being in a new environment with people who have never met me all around me now, it is certainly an adjustment and I'll only learn how to cope and learn how others perceive me too. It's all about knowing who you are and rocking it (at least that's basically what I've discovered). I've had some people ask if I had cancer already and to them, they were happy to hear it wasn't that. Thank you for sharing your story a little in the comments, it's so appreciated and I'm so happy you're learning to accept yourself as well. It's a learning curve, at not easy, but with a good mind set and great people around you, it is possible:) Feel free to real out if you ever would like to talk! My info is in my virtual business card in the description.
