Ladies,
How do you get through those days you feel absolutely so stinkin' ugly? I've felt that way for 2 days since getting a haircut. Before my haircut, I was stupidly thinking maybe my hair was improving. I think it was just the extra weight that went with the extra length.
3 different hairdressers have agreed if I want to make the most of my paperthin hair, I only have like one choice of how to cut and style it. Which is totally depressing. I don't feel it's the most flattering style on my face, but neither would looking balder than I am.
I feel so self conscious all the time. Always looking at other ladies' hair. Always disgusted by what I see in the mirror. Aware that very few women in spite of Rogaine and all other treatments, regrow a thick headfull of hair. And at 36 yo, not even done with growing my family yet, feeling so sorry for myself. And embarrassed for my husband and children.
I try to keep this in perspective... but I also feel that people with cancer, or AA probably get more sympathy from people as they are *sick*. People will just think this is my fault for being fat, and therefore losing my hair like I deserve it. I wish I could make this not matter to me. That I had the courage or ability to proudly do whatever in my life I want, without the smothering panic of hairloss hanging over me!!!
