I don't know when it was happening. I do remember that when I scratch behind my ears I felt smoothness and thought nothing of it. When it was hot I put it up and basically I exposed my bald spot to everyone and no one told me anything until last month. I saw a doctor and told me it's alopecia. But that was it. They didn't tell me how to treat it or anything. Just that it's caused by stress and it will take a long time for it grow back to my length. From last month to now that bald spot has grown just a little bit. Used to be a smaller circle and now it's like an oval. Only my mom and boyfriend knows about it. I asked my boyfriend to check if I have more spots hidden away because I've seen pictures where people with alopecia have more than one spot. So far I just have that one.

I used to say that I want to cut off my hair so I can grow it better and stronger. Just shave it off but I never met to be bald. I tell myself not to stress but that is stressing me out. I don't feel comfortable talking about it to my female friends so I thought maybe you ladies could help me through it.
