Alopecia and heartbreak
Hello All and Happy New Year!
I had alopecia areata for several years, I was able to do okay, covering my "spots" and keeping a really healthy mental attitude about it. I was in a relationship for a little over 2 years and during that time, I lost my lashes, brows, and all the hair on my head. I got a Freedom Wig (best thing I ever did) and can't lie, was and still am, very sad about the loss of my brows and lashes...Still, (and finally my point) I had been in a relationship for a bit over 2 years, he loved me and accepted my alopecia completely. We broke-up last week. Though I am heartbroken and can't even FATHOM dating again, I am very perplexed (and maybe feeling sorry for myself) about how to go about dating with alopecia. My ex saw the progression of my condition, I never had to explain...It was something he was there for me during. How do you meet someone new and explain alopecia? Ugg.
I'd appreciate any feedback!
