Hi Mary, Just wanted to say hello really, it's amazing to me how similar the stories are of the women suffering this problem - even though we're all so different in our daily lives, ages, occupations etc. I hope to be able ...
Hi Kristin, Thanks - I'm sure this is a day by day thing, so no doubt the rollercoaster will continue! It's brave and strong of you to post your photos and inspires me to be too. Thank you. Fabienne :)
Hi Paniceee, I know I've felt and thought so many of the same things you have - still am! My heart goes out to you...you are stronger than you give yourself credit for, we all are, so hang in there. Do good things for yourself a...
I'm vain about my hair. After going through terrrible self-loathing about my weight in high school, my hair was one of the few things about myself I could always feel good about - it was always beautiful. The hair loss has made me horribly anxious, panicky, sad and resentful. It has made me feel isolated from other people who aren't going through it. It's made me feel worried about aging for the first time. It's made me angry. It's made me worry that my loving partner might not want me anymore if it continues unabated.
About Me
About Me:
I'm 36 years old. I have one beautiful child, a little girl called Sofia, conceived through IVF. I'm a teacher, although I've been working in Museum education for nearly ten years. I'm completing a Masters in Education part time. I came out as a lesbian reasonably late in life, I was 26. I'm finally in a very happy relationship, we've been together nearly 3 years.
Hey :) I just wanted to say Hi to you. We're the same age and work in the same feild and I am just across from you in NZ. There are a few people from OZ here. I hope you find the site as supportive and helpful as I have :)
Hi, Fabienne. Thanks for the suggestion about the book. I'll def. check it out. As I get older, I've become more interested in Eastern and integrative medicine. I'm kind of lost faith in Western medicine. Have a great weekend. Lisa
You are more than welcome. I stumbled on this site a few months ago, and it has been the best thing for me. I have a hard time "talking" about what's going on... this is so easy for me. I can write and get my feelings out without having to face anyone, or any stupid questions! :o) It really is an incredible place... it's just part of my day now. I check in often, just to catch up and see what's going on!
Hi Fabienne, Welcome to the group! This is an incredible place for support! You will soon see that you aren't alone in your struggles. We all totally, 100% get it! No one can understand the emotional aspect of this until you are in the middle of it. That's when it seems to overwhelm us!
Hi, Fabienne. Welcome to this wonderful group of strong women who understand. It's hard to comprehend this unless you have experienced it. My hair was also "my thing." I get it. Your daughter is beautiful! How old is she? I hope you find it comforting to be here. Take care, Lisa
