I remember from as early as 14 that my body wasn't very hairy even after puberty. My arms and legs always had patches where hair was suppose to be but wasn't. After I lost my eye brows and beard I started getting patches on my chest.... Got me thinking. Did I always have Alopacia and it just didn't fully take effect. Now I'm starting to see very few tiny white hairs on my face but not the brows. Also I noticed a bald spot the size of a penny on my head.. And a smaller one just a little lower.  I'm relatively happy most of the time. Going through a divorce and missing seeing my son on a daily basis but it's cuhz I had to move out and my parents were the only option. I accepted the beard and brows leaving because my personality shined through and attracted accepting people into my life. But my hair. It's all I have. I always had nice full soft hair. I love styling it. And changing it. But if it goes than what....beanies and hats for years. Shaving so the bald spots blend in every day. I've don't some bad things in my life but to deserve this for years and years is just torture. Rather have cancer. Atleast that gives the person a chance for medicine and spirit to pull through. But this is unsure and attacks peoplea image and reduces them to wigs and depression and lies. I won't wear wigs or draw in brows. If this is guna be me than I have to live with it but too soon to say accept it. Just want to be happy.

Um, I don't think you want cancer.... I watched my father and others wither away from it and medicine did not help.  I officiated his service and preached his eulogy.  My dad would have chosen alopecia if he could have.  I understand your feelings though.  There is medicine and procedures that you can try.  You should see your doctor or dermatologist if you haven't already to explore your options.  And I know what you mean but your hair is not all you have.  You have parents that love you enough to let you come home and I'm sure your son loves you - and not because of your hair.  You want to be happy so you will be happy.  Bald is beautiful, I'm well aware of that, lol.
