Hi sending you a friend request - your'e not crazy - it's sometimes challenging for others when we tell the truth - doesn't mean we have to stop trying - but you don't owe anyone an explanation and have every right to do/be the…

Hi Kayla, just to say it was a great encouragement for me to meet you here January 2010 and to see your pic with your shaved head. A few weeks later I went bald. So: just thanks for being who you are - and all my support!

You're beautiful, Kayla, and I hope that you can find a support group of young men and young ladies that have the same condition as you. You are NOT CRAZY.....you have an ILLNESS that is no different than alopecia, diabetes, or cancer. You…

Hi Kayla, my heart goes out to you. Loneliness is one of the horriblest feelings. But please believe this - it won't last forever. Lots of us experience it at some stage in our life (I don't mean 'us' as in people with alopecia,…

My freshman year of high-school a there was a girl with trich who always wore wigs. She reached out to me because someone had told her that I also wear wigs but at the time I was kind of closed off and reluctant to talk about alopecia with anyone,…

Kayla, hair does not the person make - I'm 53 and have been living with alopecia now for over 17 years. It was so hard at first, but you are not alone by any means - let your family in - let them support you and trust me, if you think someone…

Please don't call me crazy

I have trichotillomania, and god I wish I could just pretend that I didnt.
It hurts so badly to finally admit that rather then this being done to you, its you doing it to yourself. and that there is nothing worse then losing friends over this.
I'm married, I love my husband and my one year old daughter. but its not enough, I want friends. but I'm alone.
I have to wear wigs, and I finally put myself in debt and decided to go to a hair restoration clinic to try and help me.… Continue

Rude people
Posted on August 18, 2010 at 9:30pm 15 Comments 0 Favorites
I don't understand why people have to be so rude,
My poor ego :(
I was feeling down, (it's really hard to feel like you look good when you're eight months pregnant) but something got me even more down.
I recently bought a wig online, Seeing as how there are no wig stores in flagstaff that was my option.
I've been wearing it for about a month now and as most of you know, Synthetic wigs tend to wear out fast, especially if they aren't the best quality.

Bald spots
Posted on July 18, 2010 at 6:02pm 6 Comments 0 Favorites
They've been getting bigger and bigger, until finally I can't ignore them anymore.
The worst one lately is the one at the center of my head.
I used to pull my hair out, (I've been able to stop for quite some time)
But now it's coming out on its own, could it be that all the years of pulling have finally killed my roots?
What do you guys think?

Wigs wigs wigs...
Posted on May 20, 2009 at 6:42pm 4 Comments 0 Favorites
Gosh, sometimes I get so sick of wigs, I live in a really small town, it's pretty obvious I wear a wig.
It's even worse when the "children" here think its funny to pull it off in public *twitch*.
I'm sixteen, I know it sounds immature but I really dislike people who make fun.
Tease, pull and jerk off my wig, call me baldy etc.
And decent wigs are so expensive...
I looked into a vacuum wig that wouldn't come off when someone pulled it.
4100$,

I know the sweetest nine year old girl on this planet (in my opinion)
One of the most unspoiled children I've ever seen in my life.
she's absolutely beautiful, but she has to wear wigs because of Alopecia Areata, Her mom was telling me about how she came home crying from school one day because the children took off her wig on the bus and were running around hiding it from her.
She actually had to go back up to he school, to get the wig back from lost and… Continue

- Hey, Del:
First, if you've been able to stop pulling - congratulations! You must have a lot more willpower than I do.
You mentioned people ripping your wig off in public. They should be really, really, really ashamed of themselves; and you're brave to stand up to them.
To answer your question, I've been shaving my head on and off since about 1996 (when I was 25). The longest (no pun intended) I've been able to go without shaving has been about a month. My hair grows pretty slowly, and after about four or five weeks it grows out long enough to where I can (and do) start pulling again. And unless I want my scalp and hair to be a mess from all the pulling, I have to shave my head again.
The problem with shaving is that almost everyone either wants to know why (which I don't feel comfortable telling them); or they read something into it - assuming I'm in the military/police, or a political or religious extremist, and once in a while someone assumes I'm on chemo.
I get the impression that shaving is a little more widely accepted in some foreign countries (the Middle East, etc.) and in some other cultures in America (a lot of Hispanic and African American men shave their heads). But I'm the only white Jewish Southern Californian I know who does it.
Do you know if anyone (a doctor, a sufferer, etc.) has ever written a good book on this?
Best,
J.
