Just venting
Hi all. First time posting here, but definitely not my first go with alopecia areata. I’m 28F and have been dealing with this since I was 13 years old. I’ve had some years without spots, but they always return. I get injections which have always worked in the past, although the regrowth is very slow.
This time around, my new spot is right in the center of my hairline, by far my most obvious spot to date. I’ve been covering it with boldify hairline powder which has helped, while I wait for my dermatologist appointment over a month from now.
I always thought this alopecia thing would get easier as I get older. But it’s still just as difficult mentally and emotionally 15 years into it. The unpredictability is so hard, the feeling that others will notice/stare, the feeling of losing control over how you present yourself. It’s just hard and I am so tired of dealing with this.
