To bare or not to bare...

I finally did it, I git tiered of holding on to what little hair I had left and shaved it off. I was a little nervous at first, but after I was done it felt liberating. I was no longer holding on to that little bit of hair that was left. I quite like my bald head.

XFusion

Hi everybody,

I have been finding myself reccomending this product more and more recently. It works great for patchy hair loss and is purley cosmetic.
I was only able to use it for a few months but I loved it.

I thought anyone who is a candidate should know about it.

OMG I'm so nervous!

My boss took a vacation day yesterday, which was nice because it gave me another day to not think about having to quit. But he's back today. I was planning to give my notice tomorrow, but now that he's here I just don't think I can wait. It feels too awful keeping it from him. As much as I hate my job, he's a good guy. So yeah...I'm gonna give my notice towards the end of the day today (so he can have the evening to freak out rather than freaking out while I'm here). I plan to give him 3 weeks… Continue

writing of a philosophy student #3

(March 13, 2007)



Following the baptism of Jesus in Jordan, Jesus retreated to the desert. At his baptism, Jesus had heard the voice of God telling him, "You are my Beloved Son." This was all new and strange for Jesus who before had only known himself to be a carpenter from Nazareth. Jesus went into the desert to think about his identity, where he was also tempted by an evil voice that lay within him.



The first temptation was a temptation of power. The voice… Continue

Somebody has to be the hero...

You know when your relationship starts to slip a little. You can feel the distance between you growing and tension rising. It's not like nobody notices, but rather that no one is doing anything about it. I'm tired, I feel like I'm all on my own and I've been playing the hero for too long.

BFF

They say ‘for every door that closes, another opens”. While not quite certain who they are or where to send a thank you card, I am grateful that ‘they’ are right. Last week was a train wreck as you may have gathered from my previous blog. A door had slammed closed. This week started down the same set of tracks when I received a call that the brother of a very close friend had passed.



Wakes and funerals have a way of putting life in perspective. I may have lost my hair but those dear… Continue

Surrendering to your circumstances

With alopecia I still believe that the struggle is internal and the only way to rise above it is to overcome it internally.



At one time or another in everybody lives we are going to meet up with a situation that we can not control. At that point we have 2 choices, to either keep fighting a fight that we can not ultimately win or we can choose to surrender.



Most people think of surrender as a negative, a weakness or giving up. But I see surrender as learning to…

Something interesting came to me in meditation on Wednesday. I won't use the 'W' word [weird], although it would be an accurate word to describe it.



I had been reflecting on the video of Pema Chodron we were watching in class. While watching this video, it was almost like this complete deja v experience--everything she spoke of seemed so real to me, and almost like I'd heard it before. It was as if the world around me disappeared when the video… Continue

The worst summer ever!!!!!!!!!

This year we have had the worst summer ever. The weather has been terrible with lots of rain and on many days it has been cold but the sun actually shone briefly on Sunday. What a wonderful feeling it was to have the warmth of the sun on my bald head. It felt as though it was how I should always be and this only served to confirm my view that despite now having re-growth all over, I will continue to shave my head and continue with my new image of being bald or at the very least the proud owner… Continue

Am I ready for this ???

I have had aleopecia universalis since I was 15 yrs old. I remember the day my hair truly fell out. It's been 15 yrs and it sometimes still feels like just yesterday. I cannot belive that it took me so long to find this website and others living with, dealing with and surviving life with aleopecia. I guess it's possible I just wasn't ready to.



I have been wearing wigs since I was 15. I started out with the experience of going into a store where an older woman basically sat me in… Continue

writings of a philosophy student #1

(September 9, 2005)



The Bhagavad Gita is the account of Prince Arjuna's despair. He is told to fight and kill his relatives who stand on the opposing side even though he does not want to. He is angry about life and about what he is told he has to do. Arjuna is upset over the unfairness in life, so he lays down his weapons and starts to wail over the injustice presented before him. As much as he does not want to kill, he must. There is nothing he can do to change… Continue

Learning to Lose...

Before alopecia invaded my life, I was a happy young lady. I excelled in my studies, had a bunch of nice, caring friends, loving family and did pretty well in my career. At that time, I always think that god is so kind to me, He grants most of my wishes and it makes me feels like a WINNER.



All of a sudden, my sweet dreams turned into nightmares when I started to lose hair. Immediately, my confidence level dropped drastically. Worst of all, I was fired for poor performance and it hit… Continue
