About Me:
I am a high school senior that has been dealing with alopecia ever since I entered middle school. Generally it hasn't kept me from doing what I wanted (played soccer with only a bandanna), but still I haven't been able to do EVERYTHING that I have wanted. It has led to some worrisome school days, but for the most part I accept it. I have only ever shown my head to good family friends and family, but hopefully one day I won't care so much. So far I have tried many different types of wigs, but I still haven't found one that I really like. Anyways, I really love animals, especially horses (they are the bomb) and I have been riding ever since I was six years old. Right now I have my horse (romeo), 3 dogs (nouveau, luke, finnegan), and 2 cats (captain vancouver, and miss canada 2007). I also really love soccer even though my mum has made me stop playing (too many injuries for her liking lol), and I practically devour books. Out of everything though, animals are the ones that give me the most peace and help me to feel my best, because besides my alopecia I also suffer from other autoimmune disorders.

    Hellooooooooo

    What kind of studies are you doing at college and what do you want to be?

    You know I did read a good book recently called: The Island by Victoria Hislop, a friend gave it to me for my birthday. Have you read any of the books by Alexander McCall Smith? He has written quite a few series, one based in Botswana, a couple in Scotland (where he is from) they are very funny and easy to read - I find them really relaxing!

    Anyway thanks for writing me back.

    Hi Dielle,

    I recently read your post "Feeling defeated, frustrated and depressed", and since I'm so late with it, thought I'd post on your page instead of there. I hope your return to university has gone okay (if you're back now). Everyone seemed to offer great advice on that area of life - I hope some of it helped.

    What resonated with me most is your resentment of your twin. I have also got an identical non-alopecian twin sister and think I can grasp some of what you have gone through with that. I lost all my hair at a really young age and have essentially never had hair. Thankfully, my sister has never had to go through alopecia ever.

    As a child it was hard to understand why we were different, as a teenager there were many days where I resented her and how many guys liked her and not me etc. As an adult now though, whilst still resentful on days, I am more thankful that she has never had to go through what I went through, and that she was always there for me.

    I don't know what what you're relationship with your sister is like, if she's supportive of you or not. I'm trying to hang around alopecia world more often recently as I'm going through a rough patch myself. However, if you want to talk over the twin thing, let me know. There's definitely another girl on here as well in a similar situation - so just know - you're not alone.

    Take care,
    Dominique
