I'm 38 years old and am a Christian mother of two beautiful daughters. I have a solid faith in God and look to share the love of our Lord with everyone I meet. Don't worry I'm not weird or stand on the street corner yelling "The End is Near!" But I do believe in the bible and God's word. I can have an intelligent conversation beyond my beliefs and have been going ot college for 6 years now. I am hoping to get my R.N. degree with in the next two years. I developed A.A. a year and a half ago. My first time with this disease I lost all of my hair for about 5 months. Then when it started growing back it was completely different. I'm still trying to figure out what to do with the dark brown curls on my head. I was a dish water blond with hair as straight as a board. WEIRD! Any way, I'm looking forward to meeting new people and sharing my life and experiences. Hope to talk with you soon. Kat
thank you Kat and i know you are right.. i just am embarrassed about my breakdown at work and everyone knows... they didnt give me my job back which really hurt.. I have an interview Wed and feel I will get that and its the same money and a bonus every qtr so maybe God is leading me to even something better and the office is very small and I feel maybe I would feel more comfortable, not having to feel like I have to look the part as I did in a big company. I want to do something yet I dont know what to do. I am going to see someone next week... but God will lead me through I just feel I was put out for the dogs at work and its so upsetting. If they didnt think I was stable enough for my job, why would they put me out at the switchboard as thats the 1st person everyone sees... Its just so upsetting and maybe even though this was a terrible thing God allowed me to take those pills to pull me up out of this even though it was such a humiliating and public thing that I will never heal from... I feel once I get away from everyone there I can move on. I am just going to give my boss a letter and leave right away as I dont owe them 2 weeks notice... They didnt look out for me. I just am so humiliated and pray to God every nite. I will get thru this its just I have taken it so hard and feel I am not as strong as everyone on here as this has gone on 4 yrs.... My sister helps me a lot and I adore her and we've gotten closer due to this actually. I just have to remember looks are not everything in this world its just so much has happened to me, breast cancer, my parents died, my sister killed herself, and I feel this was the last straw as this affects your dignity the only thing left in me... I would like to be your friend and I know you are right. I just have to go on... I hope God leads a good man my way too as I feel no man will ever like me due to this and I have never dated that much anyway... Thank you for helping me. God has a plan through this although sometimes I feel why would he allow me to have so much BAD to happen for the plan to come about... I took pills at work and everyone knows, that is TERRIBLE and humiliating and they probably know the specific problem as my boss probably told everyone which is more humiliating. I am trying to hold my head high.... and I feel my parents would be ashamed of me, I wish they were here so I could hug them and they would make me feel ok. I am trying so hard.... I will just wear something if I can find something that looks normal... Thank you for helping me.. God is still good I just dont understand all this now...
you are so pretty... do you wear a full wig and is it bonded i need advice on what is the safest thing to do as my dr told me not to bond anything yet i dont want the hassle of putting something on every day.. i dont know what to do... if i could have hair like yours I would be so happy i believe in God too yet I've really struggled with this and feel God has put too much on my plate to bare, as i had a breakdown from this at work and lost my job... its been awful and i'm humiliated about my condition not to mention them taking my job from me.. now they put me at the switchboard and everyone knows.. its awful i cry every nite... i dont know what to do
Hi Kat - I have a question. When your hair fell completely out and then regrew 5 months later...were you doing any treatments or did it grow back on its own? Did it grow back fully or did you still have some spots? Are your photos with the dark hair current - is this how your hair looks now? (You look beautiful, by the way!)
what a gorgeous tattoo! Interesting story about your change of hair -- I used to have stick straigh hair the color of dishwater blonde. I had to streak it to make it look nice. Now, of course, all I have to do is plop a wig on my head!
