Hello friends!

17m, have had AU since i was twelve (5year veteran), right now i have eyebrows and eyelashes but they start to fall off during winter... The biggest problems that i have met is that drunk people during partys tend to be a bit disrespectful trying to take my hat, if its boys that are being disrespectful it often ends with me hitting them or threatening the guy to shut up or to leave the party. unfortunately it is often girls that are disrespectful and trying to grab my hat which ends in me trying to dodge and or asking her to leave me alone. In my case i have gotten pretty tired of talking about alopecia because it often ends with a group of people joining the conversation and trying to pitch in asking the same question that i have gotten for the 100th time already.

there are 2 things that really hate. the obvious one is girls (people in general, but mostly girls my age have said this to me) asking "do you have cancer" while trying to act funny about it.

the second thing is that i really wish i would have had hair when i started highschool, to be honest there aren't that many pictures of me with hair because i didn't like taking pictures back then either, so i don't even remember how i looked with hair on, and after i got alopecia i really vanished from photos, me and my friends often joke about that if i wanted to become some sort of high end criminal the only photo of me that the police would get their hands on would be me in 4th/5th grade when i had hair. but to be honest thats also really depressing when i think about it.

Right now i have found a medicin called xeljanz that supposed to to treat arthritis but have helped people with alopecia as well, so we will see i guess, sorry for the long text i felt really down today and just made this account to get rid of my thoughts because i never really talk about myself or my feelings, (typical for a class clown i would say lol).

hope everyone is having a nice day :)
