- About Me:
- I'm 29 years old and live in Kent, OH. I have an American mother and an Indian father. I was born and raised in Northeast Ohio and have only been to India once back when I was 5. I don't remember much unfortunately :-P I'm currently pursuing a Masters in Library and Information Science while working in an IT tech support position at Kent State University. My Bachelors was in Management and Information Systems.
I started out with Alopecia when I was 7 years old. It started as areata, but then progressed to totalis in my pre teen years. It eventually became universalis not long after that. I have had patchy hair regrowth at times, but nothing real substantial. Whatever regrows usually doesn't last very long anyway, heh!
I've never really given a community like this a serious try before. I've known two others in my personal life here who also have alopecia, but I'm interested in getting to know others too. I'd like to hear their stories and how they have learned to cope/grow with it. Sadly, my self esteem was impacted more than i like admitting by this illness as a teenager due to the way kids and some adults reacted towards me. Some of it I still work through at times, but overall I have a much better opinion of myself. I don't let it affect me the way i used to. I've also had wonderful support from friends, family, and my church.
Feel free to message me if i sound interesting to you. I'm a very laid back, genuine person. I look forward to getting to know other members on this site :-)

I feel your pain and I wish I could give you a big hug right now. Everything you are saying sounds all to familiar. Hang in there and stay strong. Remember life gives the biggest challenges to those that are strong enough to take it.

There is nothing wrong with feeling this way,nothing wrong with simply writing down how you feel - shamefull and weak ? Hell no, it still takes guts to write about things you know complete strangers can read and comment on.

Maruf, from the looks of your photo's you look like you have great friends and you like to have fun. None of that has to change, you just have to ensure that it doesn't. Don't act any differently than you did before. You have not…

Dont worry dear,
Always remember that "When life gives you a thousands reasons to cry, show the world that you have million reasons to smile."
Feeling discouraged :-(
I don't really know what all I want to say. I just hope I articulate myself well enough. Lately I feel like I say all sorts of things, but its all jumbled up in my head. It makes sense to me when I say it, but not necessarily to others around me who hear it.I only have one other blog post on here and its about my fingernails. I tried biotin for a few months and I didn't see a change so I stopped it. I actually had one thumbnail reverse itself on its own, but within 2 months it was screwed up…See More

I used to journal/blog all the time a few years ago. I always found it therapeutic, so hopefully this will be the first of many on here :-)
For the last 15 years I've reluctantly gotten used to having no hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, etc. However, in the last year my fingernails decided to join the party. They used to get white spots on them every so often, but last year the nails started separating. Now I have sections of my nails that are gone and wont grow back. Whenever something… Continue
