Walk in someone else's shoes.. know what they go through, and I'm not sure that we would trade places. Dont we wish for it so many times though, thinking life could be better..

Yoshimi replied to Steve Turner's discussion 'Craziest thing you've done for a cure'

Something I do remember, when I was 6, doctor who specialized in hairloss recommended treatments.. and I remember my mom taking the leaf of the 'temple flower' tree, and it had this milky liquid. She would squeeze the liquid, smear it on…

I tried something similar; silicea gel. But I was kind of allergic to it because my eyes would swell right up so I had to stop after a couple of days.

Hair cures

I was going through the newspapers the other day, and I came across an article of someone who had hair problems and finally got over it with something she took which has silica gel in it (I believe.. dont quote me on the facts).. Well, you know, all of us, tried a millions ways and techniques and treatments and ways to get over, accept and keep on living life. For some reason, I just cut out the article and checked it out on the internet. I was thinking in my head, not this again, because I…See More

Yoshimi commented on JadeKiss's blog post 'Is positivity the cure?'

I think a time comes for people to think life over, more deeply. Its more easier when you think about it naturally, but sometimes it just shakes you up to thinking. To me personally, alopecia was something which forced to me wake up. I think life…

Yeah! I do remind myself all the time to forget me before, stop living in my 'glorious' past. How I used to look and everything.. :)

Profile Information

Relationship Status:: Single

About Me:: Hi, my name is Yoshimi, and I want to tell you my life story.
People say I look a bit shy and act it too ( its quiet I tell you) but not really.. I talk quite a bit. I'm happy with my life right now. I enjoy quite a few hobbies and creative things, and also have a few close good friends.

I first had alopecia when I was 6 years old. At least that is what I think I had, judging from the prescriptions and mom's details. I think it was on of those things which happened so suddenly and not slowly. My mom said that in a few weeks my hair had drastically fallen. I had shaved my head, so that whatever it was couldn't spread. Medication, and care of my mom, my hair had started growing back in one year. When the barber was cutting my hair, I still remember crying seeing my reflection in the mirror as he cut it off. I also wore a fake wig everywhere I went, including school, it was a cap which had two long plaits of black cotton thread hair. I didnt care much though because I was small, having the time of my life and I was never bullied.

My thick hair came back, and I was fine, although somehow I had a huge forehead which I was self conscious about and tried to cover it with bangs. I was also afraid of the wind, something which I loved, because it would show the world my huge forehead. It also seemed as if the school van driver would go fast on purpose and the wind would be bellowing on me from the window, and he would look at me through the rear view mirror. Maybe I was just being paranoid, and I remember being so frustrated with my forehead at one point that I started rubbing my forehead vigorously in annoyance, willing my hair to grow there. Amazingly, I noticed a few days afterwords that baby hairs were starting to grow there.

I'm not done writing yet, I will get to it.. :)

Do you have alopecia?: Alopecia areata

Are you age 18 or older?: No - I am not 18 or older

Flawed logic

Posted on November 12, 2009 at 10:51pm 1 Comment 0 Favorites

I've been through some stuff.. Its like I cant have real friends..

I was trying to understand what I was doing, and why. My hair's growing back, and I want to grow it long. I havent had a haircut in months.. but that was also because of alopecia.. And I'm thinking about why I really want to grow my hair long, and one of the reasons is defiance.. I have a lot of defiance in me, and in this case its to prove that life and its circumstances cannot control me. Another reason is that I… Continue

Hair is not my only issue

Posted on September 3, 2009 at 10:40pm 6 Comments 0 Favorites

I have a load of thoughts in my mind these days.. Fortunately though, I am happy that I am able to control my emotions and not go into the severe depressions I seemed to go into a while back, and for the fact that I can think things logically.. I can safely say that I'm just feeling a little down..

Alopecia does make you go into a rollercoaster ride does it not? Its ups and downs..

It was so crazy at that time when I realized that my stress was severely affecting the… Continue

When i was growing up, if I wasn't getting made fun of for my hair, then it was also because of my last name. It devastated me and I went from being mildy extroverted to an extreme introvert. I've slowly broken out of that, but even to this day I have slight trust issues with people I meet. I make it difficult for people to get to know me because I keep holding on to the way I was treated and thinking its always going to be the same. My middle and high school years were only a short period of time, but definitely left its mark on me. Its a blessing and a curse that they are some of our most formative years. It was so ingrained in my head that I was unattractive or lacking as a person because of my differences that kept getting brought up. I wish I would've learned to embrace them and not hate myself the way I did for so long. Its been a slow process over the last 10 years in getting me to stop believing the lies about myself i let control me for so long.

I agree with you that it's fun to change the length (and the color and style) from one day to the next. I'm very into self expression, and wigs would allow me to express myself through my hair a lot better than my natural hair would, so it's kinda strange that it's bothering me so much. But I'm feeling more and more like you do every day. Skrew it, it's just hair. =) Being bald DOES look pretty fierce! I just need to stop worrying about whether or not guys will be attracted to me..
