anymore.
It all came back Christmas Eve day. I don't know if you knew I have a condition called Alopecia Areata. Alopecia Areata is a conditon that causes round patches of hair loss. I have had it since the age of 4, I wouldn't say that it comes and goes but i've always had a bald spot somewhere. On christmas eve I got in the shower and i got out shortly after covered in hair the hair balls were the size of my hand. There were only a few strands left with my longer hair so I had to cut it; I cried, but it was something I had to do to make it look like it was thicker. I haven't had this much fall out ever before; that I remember of anyway. Ever since then I've had hair balls that big everyday. It has been so hard for me to overcome. But nothing has been easy lately. Tuesday this week i went to school with my hair straight as always but I was so self concious; Its not that I don't want people seeing it but I don't want to scare anyone. So I asked my mom to call the school and get permission to were hats to cover it up. I've worn the hats the past two days, and I've gotten alot of compliments on them but they itch and its not the same as your real hair.. On the bright side I can get up 30 minutes than usual. But I sorta feel like as much hair that is falling out when I take off my hat and bruch my hair; that the hats pressure to my hair because alot of hair is falling out. But right now I am on a remedy that the acupunctureist gave me so i'll keep you posted.

My friend Lauren has Alopectia Areata too. She never has had hair, eyebrows, or eyelashes. She tells me about how hard it is and how strange she feels... But she's confident in herself and embraces her condition, using it to help others. You seem like you are also handling your condition well and remaining optimistic. Good luck! Remember that you are loved by many!
