    I woke up with no eyebrows and almost no lashes 😔 they have thinned out since treatments so I guess I'm surprised it hasn't happened before now. This may sound stupid but I think this affects me more than my hair loss. I don't even want to look in the mirror anymore. One more reason to keep staying home.mq0tvpczw9m1.jpg

    I'm obsessed with my new coat. I bought it to replace one that was worn out and filled an essential function (waterproof, still warm at temps around freezing) and it's way way way better. How can it be so warm and feather light?

    Anyway bless this thread for giving my stupid thoughts a place to reside.

    Yesterday an old friend who lives far from me wrote on Facebook that she misses my weirdness. A couple of days ago another old friend said that I am quirky and funny and have a unique point of view.

    It’s good to know people who appreciate me for who I am - especially because I can’t be anyone else. 💕

    I often wonder about the psychology of this place... I mean, are we all a little weird? I mean it's not like there are 50k people using chit-chat 🤷🏽‍♂️...

    Probably a really small core group of people who come and go comparative to all the rest of the forums as a whole...

    Is there just something about this place that attracts people like us to it... Or are we just the ones who found it...

    Why are my coworkers playing candy crush and I'm here 🤔... It's kinda almost odd honestly...

    Self-selecting for oddballs. Maybe. Or people who like to talk about ideas.

    Eh... You get use to being called that after a while and just embrace it 😂

    It is kinda weird, and I also think about all the lurkers that just read and dont comment.. then I get paranoid...we are kinda in a fishbowl.

    And good question about what draws us here. For me I guess it's the people and freedom to say exactly (or almost exactly) what I want to with little repercussions.

    I am intimidated by some of the other forums here...like I have a legit fitness question I want to ask, but don't want to get "attacked" or for people to be "mean" to me (I am laughing at myself for being so sensitive!)

    I don't blame you... There is a lot of weight loss zealots on here in various forms, along with encyclopedias of contradicting advice online...

    Shoot me a dm anytime you'd like and I'll share with you what I've learned...

    And that goes for everyone...

    I often wonder about the lurkers to posters ratio as well... Although I think even a lot of us posters lurk often enough... I honestly do 🤷🏽‍♂️

    insecure people hide behind their screen and feel superior *going off* when someone is being sincere in asking questions. i try to find answers to questions in forums or online so i don't have to *ask* without getting attacked, as you say - i agree with you VV! ideally - support is what we're all after...

    This moment does not define you. There are so many more beautiful things about you that are not hair. This is temporary. Hold your head up and boss TF outta this moment.

    For what it’s worth I think you’re beautiful regardless.

    I'm really touched by how much love and support I'm getting from many of you, Thank you 🙏❤ It's been very hard lately, emotionally and physically. My life has been "on hold" for almost 6 months. I'm also not the same person that I was before this. Opening up about my battle against cancer has been part of my healing process. When I share my struggles, I do it in Hope's that it makes people see that life is fragile. Sure, I knew that before... but did I really??? No, I had no clue how fragile it was. We need to appreciate it more, love more, forgive more, practice more kindness...you really have no idea how much you can make a difference in someone's life and how our lives can change in the blink of a eye.

    I think this is the most moving post I've ever read. I haven't really connected with you here but do read your posts and think you're an incredibly brave and strong person. I wish you all the best with all my heart. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. Life just plain SUcKs sometimes.

    I get it. I tried to voice my opinion a couple different times in defense of others and got attacked, even told maybe this wasn't the place for me. Really?? Maybe it's not the place for them? A person definitely needs a thick skin when they enter a forum and speak up. Arrogant people have always been a major turn-off for me and there are definitely some.............
    That's my reasoning for enjoying the chit-chat side of things. :)
