Hi Celeste, I came across your name in the blog about the NAAF conference in Indy next year. Seen you live in Fishers. I live in Kokomo. I am excited about the conference being here. Hopefully it will be affordable enough for me. I have never been to one and would love to attend. I have had AA (I think) for about 15 years now and still can't come to terms with it. I am not happy with no hair and I hate wearing wigs. I would love to meet other people with it to see how they cope.

hey how are you i havent talked to u in a while.. guess i just am confused about something.. i still am seeing my dr and i am having trouble with him telling me i have a mental illness.. depression is not a mental illness is it? i know i've been obsessed over this thing but i've gotten better... maybe i'm taking it all wrong.. i worry people think i'm crazy for my breakdowns and they know what it was over.. when i saw your quote above that answered my worries to not let it be a curse for me but its hard.. how do i get over what i did and what people know.... i start a new job Tues and want to do well....guess i just have the hardest time with living down what happened and i feel people always look at me wierd now..... guess i have to show them a new me...... how are you.... just needed to vent.....

Hi Celeste,
How are you?
Tracy

Hi Celeste, thanks for the friend add! Hope 2 know further from you. Have a great day -S.-

Awesome writing here Celeste - so very easy to relate to, it's like you've put many of my own feelings into words. I'm hooked and look forward to your next instalment.

thanks for finding me!!
i decided awhile ago that being angry because i had alopecia wont make my hair grow back. lolz. so everyday gets a little better and i do have those days where i feel like i've taken ten steps backwards.

look forward to venting with you soon! haha!

Yes i feel great this is the second time I've shaved it off. the last 2 years have been filled with ups and downs but of it all I can say I'm learning to deal with the Alopecia and see the sunshine through the darkness.
