So I've finally found some place to talk to people with alopecia and hopefully be understood - Alopecia World:).
Living in a small country with alopecia is hard, not only because people are unaware of this disease but also because even doctors for a long period of time couldn't diagnose me. A lot of websites I found in Lithuania were about how to hide alopecia, how hard it was to have it and how terrible everything is if you have it. Unfortunately I had a different perspective on it and was very disappointed when I didn't find any happy stories or stories of how fun sometimes it can be. Not even in one article they said how proud and happy you should be with yourself with or without hair, you shouldn't hide who you are. I found some support on YouTube and hopefully will see some inspiration here.

Of course I had my down times - it was when my hair was falling out and doctors couldn't find out why. I was also worried that my new boyfriend will leave me. (But I have no worries about that anymore, he even helped me shave my head when only a few hairs were left:))



So as strange it may seem sometimes I like having it, maybe because I don't have a strong image of myself and I'm open to changes the bold head certainly attracts attention:D I've started walking around with no wig for two months now, the hair is growing back, but not in all places, so I'll be needing some help from my bf to shave it off again. Mainly I have no problem with not having hair, but the others reactions sometimes are hurtful - the pity in peoples eyes and fear to ask about my "new" haircut! I mean people did notice the change from long blond hair to non at all but not mentioning it made me feel a bit more like a pity case (whom I don't feel like).
But what I am trying to say here that I believe that not having hair shouldn't stop anyone having amazing time in their lives or change the way you think about yourself.

Sorry for my probably inconsistent story:D first one here.
