Up, then down
Hi ladies, I don't know what happened. 3 days ago I posted that my hair was cut and I went out with my scarf, all was good. I was 'owning it'. Now it's 3.30am and I haven't been able to get to sleep....
Don't underestimate how important your hair was.It's not vanity,it's loss of identity.You have to get used to losing a boob,your hair,your health and probably your confidence on occasions.That's alot to adjust to in a short time. So cut yourself some slack,have a good cry and don't feel guilty about it. I vented for months on this network about being bald.I would look in the mirror and not recognise myself.Some days I would be dressed to go out,take one look in the mirror and have to change again cos I looked like a gypsy. Sometimes you can see the funny side and sometimes you can't.It's ok to wallow in it for a few days- you can't be positive all the time.You won't be judged here so vent whenever. Big hugs, Tonya xx
