I don’t really know how to write this without sounding pathetic, but I’m honestly desperate. My hair loss has been getting to me so badly lately. I know people here understand it, so I don’t really need to explain the whole “it’s just hair” thing. It isn’t. When it’s YOUR hair disappearing, it consumes you. I check my hair constantly. I try to cover the thin areas. I see the hair everywhere. I avoid certain hairstyles, certain lighting, pictures, sometimes even looking at myself properly because I just don’t want to see it. I just want a wig. I want to be able to put it on and feel normal for a fucking minute. I want to go somewhere without thinking about whether people can see my scalp. I want to take pictures without immediately looking at my hair first. I want to feel pretty again. I’m a student and I work, but I’m struggling financially and everything I earn basically disappears into school and necessities. I’ve tried to save for a wig, but realistically I’m not getting there anytime soon. I feel really stupid asking strangers for money, but I genuinely don’t know what else to do. If anyone has even a few euros they could spare, I would be incredibly grateful. I’m not expecting anyone to fund an expensive human-hair wig or anything like that. I just want to be able to afford something that makes me feel comfortable leaving my house again. And if you can’t donate, I completely understand. Seriously. Even recommendations for affordable wigs, advice, or just telling me that this eventually gets easier would mean something to me. I’m just really struggling right now and I don’t want to pretend I’m not.   submitted by   /u/StrangerByCamus [link]   [comments]
