why not?

I found my first serious bald spot about 2 months ago. After getting diagnosed I had a tiny emotional breakdown, then basically fell into this more suppressed state of depression, where I wanted my life to be as it was but also just wanted to crawl in a corner and hide. So I tried to get some counselling through work. The counselling place has this new program called "e-counselling" and asked me to try it. I said OK. It turned out to be a giant waste of time for me.

A wise person once told me that if you have doubts about God, try going through the motions anyway and see what happens. Try loving your neighbour and your enemy, try praying, just try it. If God is good, then being good should maybe help you see God? Well, it might not work for everyone, but it did for me. Now, I am drawing a parallel here that does relate to alopecia.

She took a number of really beautiful ones - I had that one printed onto a canvas though to hang in my apartment. They're good to have around - especially on those days I'm feeling particularly unattractive.

*hugs* hope you're well.
