<p>Just this past Saturday I had gone for a nap as I was quite tired, my hubby stayed up to prepare dinner then decided to watch a movie.As I woke up came downstairs my husband was walking into the kitchen and this commercial came on about hair or lipstick whatever it was i stood just at the ramp of the stairs and watched as my husband came out of the kitchen stared with an onion in his hand.I continued coming downstairs and naturally I confronted him and said you must find this girl quite beautiful with her hair and all as I watched you.Imedietly he changed the subject, when I seen him do this I got this pit of worriness or hurt in my stomach.I felt crappy this entire week-end because I think he misses the woman he married with hair and now it's gone.I wish it had never happened to me while i was married i wished that if were going to happen it would be before i got married.<br/> Yesterday morning I fixed myself up and my husband said to me Lisa why are you wearing wigs I think you look wonderful like the way you are and I just looked at him and said thank_you but deep inside I din't believe him for a second.<br/>
Am I over insensitive here cause I'm confused now and i'm doubting my husband feeling I can't give him what he needs.<br/>
He tells me " i want you no one else I have you" and of course my reply is yes you have me because naturally you can't have the woman on tv!<br/>
Feeling very sad and I just feel awful about the way I look just when i was starting to feel comfy I felt as tho someone stomped on that for me.</p>I'm confused and have an upset stomachtag:alopeciaworld.com,2012-07-08:2022678:BlogPost:9442222012-07-08T18:05:12.000ZLisa-Lynn Marinihttps://alopeciaworld.com/profile/LisaLynnMarini

<p>I'm feeling like i'm on this roller coaster going round and round or i'm with a driver who is confused and don't know what it should be hair or no hair one day there, month later gone!!! How does that happen and why?? I haven't got the slightest idea but i sure wish i knew<br/> Peace out<br/>

As a young girl, I was robbed of a good childhood, as a young adult I was robbed of being a young adult having to fend for myself with bills, rent,job etc,then mother nature gave me this wonderful man who is now my husband, whom I adore, 3 beautiful children.<br />
For the past few years Mother nature took my hair, leaving me going to crisis centers, came down with PTSD, social anxiety disorder,depression and feeling all alone.<br />
Having been through all this i've learned to accept who I am, be happy and love me for me.<br />
I've asked mother nature during all this time, you've robbed me of pretty much everything I deserve something back!!!! One week ago I've noticed stubs on my head I thought ok i'm not gonna get my hopes up but I was excited at the same time, so you can imagine the way I must of felt i'm sure. 3 days later I got into an arguement with my neighbour causing me to stress out and the very next day I noticed another patch, how disapointed I was to see this.<br />
Learning from all this I need to keep my stress level completely down I now have a full head of very short hair and that patch has since grown in.<br />
I remember the dr's telling me my hair would never grow in and told me about my white cell count and so forth when really I was very stressed out in life and it makes me wonder where these doctors come from.<br />
Today I learned not to take things for granted after learning what I have in life, love what you have and not what you want.My wish though is this, that hopefully one day those of you who suffer from what I suffered with ( hairloss)that your hair will come back.I've had alot of support on here from quite a few friends and they helped me make it through , you know who you are so I thank-you with all my heart and I myself will continue to stay on AW to help those of you as well as I have been there and still don't know how long this hair growth will last. I still won't get my hopes up.<br />

Today I was amazed when I went to my psychologist for the first time and we spoke and I told her of my alopecia, it was sooo nice that she knew what it was and she just looked at me and said, why are you covering your beauty?

So this morning I decided it was time for me to not isolate myself which is what I been doing lately, and I decided it's time for a little pampering.<br/>
Went out got my nails done,timmies, shopping and bought a brow pencil to color in some brows and OMG what a disaster i made. I hate it and I have no clue how to color them in. I got the right color ( dark blond) as I normally like my blond wigs.<br/>
God sure didn't make things easy when he took away my hairs and brows :(

well i've decided to buy me a very good razor and some shaving cream to get rid of the stubs today, am tired of the itching under the wig and am going to my inlaws today with a wig on , I know i'll be itching like crazy, maybe I should tell them I have head lice or something so we could leave faster,,,lmao<br />
But I am lookng forward to getting my head smooth instead of living with stubs, it's either hair or NO HAIR right?<br />
so I may as well say bye bye to the stubs<br />

This is something i've learned to do over the course of my therapy!!<br/>
I now walk around bald in front of my whole family, everyday unless I go out of course, i'm not ready for that just yet, but I am very comfy around my family and no longer ashamed to be bald around my family and it feels great, especially when the fresh air hits your nice baldy head :)<br/>

much happier me today :)

I even learned about grounding things to preoccupy yourself with as well the trees outside for example, what it looks like, the color and so forth.<br/>

Went to therapy today and there was obviously a big group again, this time we had a special person in there talking about substance abuse, and guess what I found out?<br></br>
I overly take my meds and I find it a necessity to have my 3 glasses of wine at night and that means I have a substance abuse even tho i don't do it in the day time but I over take my meds in the day and then i have my drinks at night, so after therapy is over I have to attend a substance abuse program. makes me feel…

Many of you will probably reply and tell me its not the right way and I agree but it's how I can cope.<br/>
After my therapy they want me to go into volunteer crisis center to receive a one on one counseling so I have so much to go through ,this alopecia has just beaten the hell out of me and I'm ashamed and disappointed.SUCCESS!!tag:alopeciaworld.com,2011-05-30:2022678:BlogPost:6591532011-05-30T00:13:09.000ZLisa-Lynn Marinihttps://alopeciaworld.com/profile/LisaLynnMarini
I reached my goal today and went for a walk wit my husband around the block and we did it in broad day light right after dinner, I was hesitant at first due to my social anxiety problem but I grab held of his hand and off we went.<br />
I'm very proud of myself and tomorrow we plan to do the very same thing hopefully soon enough I won't have anxiety attacks and i'll be able to go out on my own .<br />
I've aheived my goal that I set and I am proud of myself

I have set a goal for tomorrow night at 9:00 p.m eastern standard time to start walking around the block with my husband so this way I dont have to deal with axiety cause most people in my complex are in their homes.<br />
The reson for this goal is because I went from a 110lbs to 145lbs. i've excercised at home but it's doing me no good, perhaps its a sign of God to push me out and work on my anxiety so i'm looking forward to my walk around the block with my hubby tomorrow night .<br />
wish me luck to…

In group therapy yesterday I promised to make a goal that was to walk my dog and I will keep to it as I have anxiety attacks so even if for 10 minutes I will accomplish it. And I don't give a damn who wants to stare at my hair piece( as my husband likes to all it, he says wig is too harsh)<br></br>
When session was over I asked if I could also get a one on one counseling to help me over many hurtles in my life and already i've got that in motion so I'm excited to look forward to not only a new me…

I thought that this therapy would help me out in dealing with my alopecia amongst other issues in my life , yesterday I filled out a form and had no clue I was gonna be rated on it, today I got the paper back and for depression I got 'SEVERE and for anxiety I got "SEVERE" I start to wonder If I will get over this and how long will it take? can anyone relate to this problem?<br/>
