Hi Celeste, I came across your name in the blog about the NAAF conference in Indy next year. Seen you live in Fishers. I live in Kokomo. I am excited about the conference being here. Hopefully it will be affordable enough for me. I have never been to one and would love to attend. I have had AA (I think) for about 15 years now and still can't come to terms with it. I am not happy with no hair and I hate wearing wigs. I would love to meet other people with it to see how they cope.
hey how are you i havent talked to u in a while.. guess i just am confused about something.. i still am seeing my dr and i am having trouble with him telling me i have a mental illness.. depression is not a mental illness is it? i know i've been obsessed over this thing but i've gotten better... maybe i'm taking it all wrong.. i worry people think i'm crazy for my breakdowns and they know what it was over.. when i saw your quote above that answered my worries to not let it be a curse for me but its hard.. how do i get over what i did and what people know.... i start a new job Tues and want to do well....guess i just have the hardest time with living down what happened and i feel people always look at me wierd now..... guess i have to show them a new me...... how are you.... just needed to vent.....
Awesome writing here Celeste - so very easy to relate to, it's like you've put many of my own feelings into words. I'm hooked and look forward to your next instalment.
thanks for finding me!!
i decided awhile ago that being angry because i had alopecia wont make my hair grow back. lolz. so everyday gets a little better and i do have those days where i feel like i've taken ten steps backwards.
oh no my husbands family is in Noblesville but we are there often it's only 3 hrs away. I would love to get together with you hey did you know Bald Girls Do Lunch is coming to Illinois in Nov the 15th you should come out this way I heard it's great
Yes i feel great this is the second time I've shaved it off. the last 2 years have been filled with ups and downs but of it all I can say I'm learning to deal with the Alopecia and see the sunshine through the darkness.
I've trualy walked in your shoes and made it through this time last year was the darkest time of my life my children and husband went through alot.
lean on your fellow Alopecians for help but don't forget that your family loves ya not matter what!! Hey here is another great site if you've ever wanted to know about vacuum wigs they are beautiful www.newlifehair.com
the owner is out here in Il by me and is soo nice and she too is AU
Hey what thyroid problems do you have?/ I have Hashimoto's disease which casue the hypothyroid. I just started Armour thyroid and love it. take a look at the website i found www.stopthethyroidmadness.com
lots of great info.
Hey Celeste, Good for you on the shave I just shaved mine today it feels great.
Can I ask who your wig is by and what the name is? My family lives in Noblesville and I'd love to check out new wig shops to see what they have.
I looovvvveee Pink's new song. I can't figure out though what her hubby is doing in the video if she is divorced from the guy....Guess they must be on really good terms....
Hi Celeste, thanks for the add. Enjoyed your last blog...beer and Xanax, whooo hooo! Wish I would have thought of that the night I shaved off what was left!
LOL Celeste! Prince! What song...raspberry Berret or When Doves Cry? It is finished! Yup I would need a couple glasses of wine in me for sure to do the DEED......
Celeste you are hilarious and that my dear will get you through this for sure! Your sense of humor reminds me of me! As I was reading everything I thought I have got a twin.... I love the drama!
Sorry but had to laugh about the comment of shaving the sh$t off of your head.....You made me laugh. I have a bit more hair left but now the style has completely grown out and looks like crap and it will eventually come to the point where I shave it too. That scares the crap out of me but again I will deal with it.....
I think meeting other people who are going through the same thing really helps so much. You are spouting out stuff that I am thinking. I think as we are going through these tough times it really helps to see people making it through it and celebrating their success at coming out of the pit....
I am soooo glad your wig is working out for you. What kind is it or have I asked that before? Sorry my brain is foggy with this stupid bronchitis... So much fun being sick and chasing around after my anklebiter (daughter). Thanks for your comment and yes we agree she is beautiful....
Just between you and me I can't wait for these toddler years to disappear.... I am so tired of having my finger taken and put on a picture and asked what "thad" is. It is a freaking cat just like the last time you asked me five minutes ago and regardless of the color or pattern of the cat it is STILL a freaking cat!!!!!!!!!! There ya go that is me venting! LOL...........Don't get me started on Barney or the Back Yardigans too! Grrrrrrrrrrr.... Tell me you have two beautiful children who you said were 4 and 8. How did you survive the years where the child can only point, grunt and scream?!
Wow... I can sympathize with you for sure. I have Alopecia Areata and have slowly been losing my hair since April. It is horrible and it is bloody hard to accept at times. I find myself buying wigs and then absolutely hating them so I still haven't gone into them. I know the vacuum wigs are the best but you know I just can't cut my hair off yet or shave my head. I have to do something before Jan 5 because that is when I return to work. I have been off on parental leave since Feb. I am soooo stressed about having some kind of plan in action before I return....Ugh.
I just wanted to drop a line and say yup I am here struggling along with you. We can do this!
