I DID IT!!!!!!!!

My gawd, I feel great!
I what was left of my hair off, then had my husband go over it with clippers. I'm getting ready to take a shower & will go over it with a razor.
I cannot believe what a relief it is to just be done with it! Who knew?
And, I have to say, that even though I just found this group, last night, after browsing through pictures & reading stories, I have to thank you all!
Seeing the pics & reading......I finally came to terms with this in my own way, took a sigh of relief & am now at peace! FINALLY! After 10+yrs!
What a great feeling!

Amy: I did the exact same thing last year....I was just getting ready to get in the shower, one quick look in the mirror and it was like I changed, my husband got the clippers and off the rest of it came. HOW LIBERATING it was,,,I DID IT after 15 years. I have much more confidence now than I ever had...

Thank you THEresa

Congratulations Amy. I've had AU for 40 years and I will never forget the day when I finally let go. It's like a weight has been lifted off of you. I came to the decision to just say the Hell with it I give up it is what it is and I just don't and can't care any more. It's great to hear you've made it through all the fear for all those years. Keep moving ahead. Best of luck to you in your future.

I did it yesterday also.I decided to buzz my hair at 1 in the morning because why not. I'm a girl, and I've had a pixie cut for about a year now, but it wasn't ever SUPER short. But tonight I just got this urge to shave my head, so I did. And now I don't know how I feel about it. Part of me loves it, part of me is thinking "what the F*** did I just do?" Now I'm pretty hyped up from anxious thoughts and what not. I know it's hair, and it will grow back quickly, and I will creating something like that newaylook . Which is insanely stupid because it's hair and it doesn't really mean anything. Anyway, I'm hoping I'll wake up in the morning and love it lol. But I'm a little scared for people's reactions.
