Thanks for your comments @Mazbeth, @FLClover , @TonyaM , @Kiki_Dances60 i never really thought about my hair as part of my identity before all this.
I coloured it, cut it, shoved it in pony tails. Ive had a few bad haircuts over the years and Id gladly have one of those now.
I miss my eyebrows more than id thought i might. The hair was one thing but when the eyebrows left i just looked blank. Sometimes i think i look like a very fleshy skeleton.
Its not so much what others think but what i think. If you are unwell and look it that is one thing but its like a double whammy. Ive looked better and sometimes ive really felt better but seeing yourself in all your androgenous glory is something hard to process.
Buying new glasses was a hoot. How do you choose when there are zero reference points (and you cant focus without glasses). Is it freeing?
I feel like ive aged 10 years. I feel surprisingly unbothered by how others perceive me when im out and about with a scarf on.
I want to feel better and for me that includes having some hair.
