hey it’s me ( chels ) this is a little story about me, i’m not quite sure why i am doing this but i feel like it’s something i need to get off my chest - as a lot of you are aware i don’t have hair, i have alopecia and for those of you that don’t know what that is well basically my immune system is attacking my hair follicles.

now what a lot of you don’t know is how my alopecia actually came about in my life - ( trigger warning )

in 2009 at the age of 13 i was sexually assaulted and as a result of that I fell pregnant, long story short I ended up having an abortion ( something I’m still trying to come to terms with ) my life completely flipped upside down, i lost myself and apart of my soul.

Anyway while I was going through this trauma my hair started to fall out in huge clumps, at first it wasn’t so noticeable as I had really thick hair, but as the months went on it got thinner and thinner and more patches began to appear, for almost 10 years now this is something I am still struggling to deal with.

I know I may seem like I’m not bothered by being bald or that I’m proud or strong or whatever you want to call it, but on the inside I’m just broken and I am trying to fix myself and find who I was before all this because my assault or alopecia don’t define me or make me the person I am but at the moment I guess they are and I’m trapped, I have been diagnosed with bipolar and PSTD due to the trauma so there is some hope that it can be reversed including my alopecia!
