<p>I can surely relate to what you wrote about my wig blowing off in the parking lot. And a bonded system? Yes, that is great. However, it is not all of us, or even many of us that can afford that type of system, and has the time for the maintenance, and further cost. Some people have great alternatives for hair loss, and look and feel wonderful. But these solutions cost money, time, and trial and error, which also costs $$$$</p>

<p>For sure....there is a negative side to this disease....and my heart breaks for children and teenagers who are affected.....I must say....I was HAPPY to read that you beat up the boy who pulled off your wig in high school. That happened to me as an adult, and I SHOULD have beat the person up who did it. Because alopecia is a disease, we are humans, and pulling off wigs and calling names is no joke.</p>

<p>I want to thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your comments. I wrote this article to show the negative side of this disease, for I am a writer. I am a very content person otherwise. I am happily married and have coped very well with my Alopecia. 37 years is a long time to adapt. My point being I would gladly write about all the positive things that Alopecia has brought into my life. My intent was to open peoples eyes to the negative impact and how vital it is we find a cure.

My point being I would gladly write about all the positive things that Alopecia has brought into my life. My intent was to open peoples eyes to the negative impact and how vital it is we find a cure. So don't be sad for me...but let's not ignore or push aside any emotions. I don't want to be bald. I have free will and a desire to understand. I also crave to explore other peoples emotions on this issue.<br/> Thanks again for your compassion</p> Reading this made me so sad.…tag:alopeciaworld.com,2013-09-25:2022678:Comment:10963042013-09-25T06:17:43.353ZSofiahttps://alopeciaworld.com/profile/SophiaBang
<p>Reading this made me so sad. =(</p>
<p>From your picture you're really pretty Emily! I hope you find your peace and someone that will love you for you. I was terrified but I opened up to someone, and I'm glad I did because he became a lifelong friend who loved me for me and called me beautiful everyday, told me I could be a model, and meant it too. Other people can't accept you if you can't accept yourself, they won't ever understand. I accept you though!</p>
<p>- Hugs from Texas</p>

<p>You are a very attractive woman, Emily. I, too, wish you serenity and peace. Truly, I know the feeling of being bullied.....before alopecia, as Dominique Cleopatra said. Alopecia was just the "icing on a very horrid cake."</p>
<p>But as I get older, I find "peace", because I don't want to continue to live on this earth an unhappy bald lady! I want to be like the brave, alopecia sisters here, who are an inspiration to me.</p>
<p>I hope they will inspire you, too.</p>

I wear a bonded-on hair system, and it stays on all the time, covering my patchy AA. There is no way it could ever "blow off" in the wind. It has given me my life back! Many people also wear false eyelashes. Please seek alternatives such as these that will enable you to embrace your sexuality and womanhood, and regain your zest for life and confidence in yourself. Many women feel beautiful and sexy bald, and so they are, but there are hair systems, lace wigs, vacuum pieces etc. that are…

Many people also wear false eyelashes. Please seek alternatives such as these that will enable you to embrace your sexuality and womanhood, and regain your zest for life and confidence in yourself. Many women feel beautiful and sexy bald, and so they are, but there are hair systems, lace wigs, vacuum pieces etc. that are available and that are virtually undetectable. I was bullied horribly in school, and didn't even have alopecia back then, I know how traumatic being ostracized from your peers can be, but it is time to stop lamenting the bad hand you've been dealt and start playing the cards you have been given right! :)Also, most with alopecia are otherwise often healthier than their haired-counterparts, so I wouldn't worry about your condition leading to physical ruin. You are healthy. You are alive. Don't waste another minute of this precious existence.<br />
Say this Serenity prayer with me: "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference." Peace be with you my alopecian sister <3
