very self conscious, damaged my self esteem. Three years ago I had beautiful long hair.

6-22-09 after a month-long absence from the site to get a grip on the obsession and try to act "as if" I didn't have hair loss I came back on-line today to report on the experiment. Conclusion: You all gave me the strength to get back out there and live, but I need the support here and need to share with your joys and sorrows as much as I need you to share in mine. I don't need another experiment to know that we all are in this together but we *can* live our lives with joy and laughter while we cope with hair loss! Peace ~ Kimberly

4-1-09 shedding has slowed in recent months but no noticeable new growth. Despite this I have been better able to cope with the hair loss through this site. I wake up every day and think of the thousands of women all over the world facing this with me, then have the strength to face the day. Today I wore my hair down (no barette, headband or ponytail) for the first time in months just to see if I could do it. While I was not 100% obsession free all day, It felt good to just be me :) Peace ~ Kimberly

10-24-08 worst shedding in weeks after washing hair. Possibly related to stress. I actually dreamt last night I shaved my head in frustration! I'm so glad you all are on this list - thank you for sharing your joys, sorrows, and hair loss tips. You all are some of the bravest women I know!

Much love,

Kimberly

Hippy chick now minus her long hair. Possibly triggered by going off birth control a year ago or due to having lupus. My hair is thin now and has a bald spot I work to cover up. I refuse to isolate and not live life though. I am glad I am not alone!
