There's so many things to say I don't even know where to begin, my life is
and always be a mess. My name is Kelly, I am 17 years old and when I was
twelve I was diagnosed with Alopecia Areata. Alopecia Areata is a hair loss
disease.
I lost all of my hair and still wear a wig, I have no body hair and I
also do not have any eye brows either. Fortunately for me, this "disease"
does not effect my health in any way physically which I am seriously
thankful for, but the psychological effects of this issue affected me in so
many dramatic forms and ways, it's had me to the point of complete mental
and emotional exhaustion several times a day. I would experience mental
breakdowns, lack of physical energy, and a numerous amount of other personal
hardships, so I turned to drugs.
The emotional roller-coaster effects of this self-conscious disease has put
me through an eating disorder, alcoholism, and my current drug problem I
face but cannot seem to give up on or let go of. Have faith. Life is hard
and it will be hard and when it seems you're in the worst of a drug problem
or some other personal dilemma, have faith and hope in knowing everything
will be okay. Things work out for a reason and remember, things really do
happen for a reason, even if we fail to see it through our own eyes. Turn to
God. He is your source of strength in times of trial, he is the way, the
truth, and the light.
