Sometimes I don't even know what my style is anymore. I like comfortable clothes but it seems like I am always wondering if the outfit feels good with my wig and now scarves(I have not braved the bald look yet). I used to like to wear turtlenecks in the winter and now I can't stand having anything around my neck, it's just too irritating with the wig. I have just recently started wearing scarves out in public and I like the look with a nice summer skirt or dress. Maybe I am just caring less…

I have never been much of a picture person, until I met rj. rj takes SO many photo's and he has the ability to find the best in me. He is also gracious enough to leave out the ones that I am not so crazy about. So I trust when he is going to upload a photo of me. But I do believe it take some time for us to "recognize" what is in the mirror and to accept it as us. For instance, I have gained some weight in the last few years and find myself struggling with my photos because they do not look…

He is also gracious enough to leave out the ones that I am not so crazy about. So I trust when he is going to upload a photo of me. But I do believe it take some time for us to "recognize" what is in the mirror and to accept it as us. For instance, I have gained some weight in the last few years and find myself struggling with my photos because they do not look like I "used" to. I really have to remind myself, that this is still me and not let it take away from capturing important moments that are caught on film. Whether I lose the weight or not, I don't want to shy away from opportunities. I remember going through the same thing with my alopecia.<br />

The other thing I wanted to mention is have you, (anyone reading this post) abandoned your personal style that you had before alopecia? For instance when I first lost my hair as a young adult, I really thought I had look a certain way in order to pull off the bald look. I felt that I needed jeans and a tank top in order to wear a bandanna or go without the wig. But that was not my real style. I like to be a little different as you can tell from either my wedding pictures or when I dress formal. Classic, with one thing that really sticks out. When I found a way to blend that look with my alopecia I found it very gratifying.

Petra, I was definitely talking about the pictures of myself! I'm so critical of myself. I thought you looked beautiful in the picture :)

Thank you Norm. You're funny. I truly do not worry, ever, about what others think. I just want to be able to get back to my normal self and enjoy the photos I see of me. I will get through this though. I wanted to see if anyone else experienced what I am going through.<br />

Hiya Sherry - just be yourself, enjoy life and don't worry what others might think.... I mean, do you think they're worried what you think of them? Hmmmm.... maybe a different discussion!<br />
For what it's worth, I've studied your pic with a magnifying glass and I can't see a single thing wrong with you.... maybe you need to show us a pic from the back as well, just to be sure :)

Thank you so much for your postings. I definitely agree with Susan that I need to rid myself of self-hatred and focus on the positive aspects of life. I know this will take some time for change to come, but transformation is on its way.<br />
Thanks again!
