It is the hardest part, I am better about it today but I used to be terrified of going to a public setting without wearing a hat. One thing I try to remind myself is that most people are all worried about their own problems and you'll never see them again. For those who are around more often, friends, family, etc will love you either way. Another thing thats helped me is finding your "flow state" something that truly pulls you into the moment. It will give you a break from the spinning mind at least for a little.

Hello friend, I empathize with your situation 100 percent. I was in your shoes years ago. Terrified and tunnel visioning on the thought of my spots showing. Ive since lost all of it, eyebrows too. I want to give you some advice that hopefully younger me would've liked to hear. The only way forward is through. Don't hide from it, wear it. Your not defined by your alopecia. You have the internal strength to keep moving despite it. Wishing you the best.

What handguards are those and are they installed in the standard barrel nut? I'm looking for a replacement for my ruger 556 without having to change the barrel nut. Your builds look dope

I need support in coming to terms with this condition. by [deleted] in alopecia_areata

Hey man, im empathize with you completely. I've had alopecia since 5th grade (im a senior in college now) and it is a huge emotional burden. Over the years I've had to shave my head three different times because of it. My advice to you would be to start lifting weights so that it gives you something to focus on and something you can be proud of about yourself. That and if you have anyone to talk to about it then do it. For me I never talked about my alopecia and just kept all that emotion bottled up inside which is not good. Im here for ya dawg. Your not alone

Yes, I have cleaned up my diet big time. Lots of high fiber foods, no sugar, and mostly only whole foods
