I want my freaking hair back!

Living in with Alopecia has it's good and bad days. For me, it's mostly good thank God. Today and probably the last few days though, I have really been missing my hair. :( I always try to stay positive about it and normally it doesn't bother me idk what's going on.

I just feel like crying about it. I feel like complaining about it. Wigs have seemed extra itchy and hot lately. They can get expensive and I can't always afford them. I sweat in my head mainly and am outside fairly often…

Help :)

For those of you who have significant others, I was wondering how did you tell them you had alopecia, how long did you wait, and what was their reaction? Thanks in advance :)

It's not just about you

When I first was diagnosed with Alopecia 6 years ago besides crying every time i looked at myself in the mirror, I shut everyone out of my life. I stopped going out because i was self conscious and stopped talking to my friends and family because I felt they wouldn't understand. When I was diagnosed there weren't really any support groups that I was aware of so I felt like I had to go through it alone. I didn't even tell my family until much later.
