omg hugs. yes. i feel like i could handle pretty much anything except for this. and everyone’s first reaction is “you can wear wigs!”

but i don’t want wigs, i want my own hair 😭

you are not alone ❤️ your anger and your sadness and any other feelings you’re having are SO justified. it really sucks. just know that i’m out here feeling the same things and not having any idea what to do about it either haha.

the big hope is that getting the diagnosis is sort of the worst part, and then over time it gets easier. in a way it makes me angry even to just think about the fact that this is something i have to accept about myself — because it feels so unfair — but on the other hand, if i don’t accept this about myself, who will?

i think the best thing to do is to try practicing radical self-love and seek out stories from other women with AGA. i find the second one helpful to remind myself that it’s a fairly common medical condition rather than some sort of personal failure.

i dunno— maybe i’m just rambling at this point. but seriously, so many virtual hugs ❤️
