This is all getting a bit much for me, I recently shaved my head, which doesn't bother me because I always got plenty of looks anyway, but the years and years of not having my hair, always getting stared at and always feeling out of place in friend groups, I was messaging a friend the other night, we both feel comfortable enough to talk about our problems and when I confessed to them about how I felt, I literally burst into tears and started crying, I just started wondering why it had to happen to me, why I always feel left out and why noone wants to go on a out with me, Its just all getting too much for me and unless I start seeing serious growth soon I don't know what I'm going to do...

I can relate to your situation and I'm sorry. I understand the hurt and frustration, the stares. I'm actually older and you would think I could handle this problem more effectively but in the end, it's all no fun. I would say that even though you are feeling this way, if it is a relationship you are seeking, there are women who look beyond what one might consider as "flaws". There are good people and those worth investing, we must seek out. Best wishes and hang in there. My dilemma is work related. I could go forever without a relationship partner, but a return to work the way I feel about myself is harder than I had imagined. Best wishes.

I could go without a relationship its just that I've never had one, I'm not that fussed about it, what sort of work do you do

I've been out a year studying for my social work graduate degree. I think with me, it's turned into something bigger than hair loss and has made me an anxious person. I have an interview up and coming on Friday for my internship. A lot is riding on this and I just feel I will be aesthetically judged ( I still have a majority of my hair-just thin places on top)....I feel I will act unnatural in my interview and blow the whole thing, but I'm contemplating taking an anti-depressant to see if that will help; prob will make the loss worse, but I need to salvage my thining.

It's times like this when we need more people to be educated in alopecia

I agree...I think, too, if I can just get around to restructuring my thinking, that will help as well. Everyone has a personal struggle...some are just more visible.

Employers don't realize the strength it takes to keep going in our conditions

I've had alopecia for about 8 years and I'm just not sure if the friends I have are real
