I can't beleive it's been three years already! I remember when I lost all of my hair, the depression, anger, and sorrow I felt. I cried and cried for weeks. I didn't think I deserved it, I even questioned if there was a god. How could god let this happen? This group and another have helped so much! I am back to my old self. Of course I get down in the dumps sometimes, but I have a guy that loves me, a family that loves me, my music and my friends, thats all I really need!
Moving to another state helped me so much. The hardest part was people finding out, but here, in a new place, I could care less what people think! I dont know them, and when I meet people I have no problem tellinmg them about my AU anymore, this is me! Its so liberating!
Thanks to all of you that have hepled me through this and To anyone that is new to this and struggling, I swear, it really does get easier!

I agree that a move away from old neighbors and classmates works well. In a new place, they don't care and you don't know who is gossiping...and there isn't one long chain of people who know you to care about rumors or share stories. You can move on with career and education. It only gets hard if you move TOO far and can't afford to travel when you might want to see some of the old people.

HAPPY LIBERATION DAY!! Same with me.... left the North Side of Pittsburgh for the South Hills. Always
looked for a South Hills girl to date, found one, married raised my family this side of the city. People I meet
say that the North Side is "friendlier" place to live. But I like the South Hills because people here mind their
own business. :)
Happy for you Lee.

Lee, in January, it will be 3 years for me, too. Like you, I now feel that this is me. I'm a woman who doesn't happen to have any hair. I haven't moved since losing my hair, but I have MOVED ON!

Congratulations and keep on living proud.
Mary
