- About Me:
- I am 22. I found out I had alopecia when I was 20. It took its course, and eventually grew back after my 21st birthday. Its back again. My mom had it once when she was about my age, and so did her sister (my aunt). I try to deal with it the best I can. I think its best to say I have my good days and my bad days. I sometimes get frustrated about it, and sometimes I just really don't let it get to me. I try to be strong about it. I think that it takes really strong people to handle this, I do wish this time will be the last time.
but I guess we will see!

Alopecia and Anxiety
Posted on June 12, 2010 at 11:30pm 5 Comments 0 Favorites
I am 22 years old. I found out I had alopecia areata when I was 20. I had long hair, and when it started getting really bad I chopped my hair off, and just waited for it to get better and grow back. Shortly after my 21st birthday the alopecia seemed to stop acting up, and all the spots started to grow, and fill in. I am 22 now, and my hair is past my shoulders again, but in the last couple of months I started seeing new spots. It is frustrating, but I know the only thing I can do about it is… Continue
If someone here who can help me with something.

I am a college student, and in my english class, I have to write a informative essay. So I have to leave my emotions out of it. I chose to do mine about alopecia. Nearly every one I have came across, has never heard about it. I would like to write about it, because I have it, and this is my oportunity to teach people about it. I am going to attach it at the bottom. I don't need help writing it, I am just hoping that if I left some important information out, that some of you may know, and could… Continue

Emily said… - Nice to meet you. It sounds like you're having a hard time--I'm sorry to hear that. I know that will come for me too, eventually--for right now it is easy to forget I have alopecia because my spot (though large) is in the back of my head, so I don't see it. And I also chopped my hair off the day I was diagnosed, which helped quite a bit. Would you say that one of the tougher aspects of this disease is its unpredictability? I would be so sad if my hair grew back and then fell out again, as you describe. It has only been a month since I was diagnosed, so who knows what course this will take...

It shouldn't make any difference to the course of your alopecia if you dye your hair.

Rachel said… - I recently found out that I have alopecia too. I am new to this whole thing so I can't offer any words of wisdom, but if you ever need to vent or just want to chat, I'm here. The people on this site are amazing. They have been a huge encouragement to me. I'm sure you'll find the same thing.
