#alopeciaawarenessmonth💙💙 …Pretend I posted this on Sep 1..I don’t even know where to begin when talking about this year, what a journey it’s been, and how far I have come. There are so many aspects of myself that I have learned over the years, but these past few months especially-have been pivotal. I have truly taken a step forward to pour myself into people & things that make me feel content & at peace. I started to have a really bad flair up that began around September 2024. I was anxious. I was scared. I didn’t feel like myself, and I hated taking pictures. I found myself often talking down to myself for simply existing. It feels like default. To see a flaw that you can’t fix with a snap of your fingers and your first thought is to immediately tell yourself how ugly you look. Looking at other people and immediately comparing yourself instead of saying I am the only me I know. The feeling of leaving your room and how my hair will be the first thing people will notice, and how that will somehow automatically put in the category of different or weird or ugly. From what I have learned this year, and what I can tell you now: Learning to love yourself all over again is NOT easy. Self love is not simply waking up and repeating daily affirmations. It is dealing with the hard, difficult, and dark conversations with yourself and rewiring your thoughts completely. June 19th, I started Olumiant, a chance to feel like myself again. And I have. Though of course there are still bad days, giving myself grace is needed. Remind yourself to take a deep breath from time to time. It is okay. It will be okay. I can look at myself in the mirror and say that through the bad and good with my hair, I am starting to feel beautiful again. It takes so much time coming to terms with dealing with an autoimmune disease. Even on my 11th year of being diagnosed, it’s still so difficult. Healing is not always dramatic. Sometimes it is slow, messy, and quiet. Starting my medication feels like a fresh start, and I am beyond excited to feel like me again. You are not your disease! You are worthy of love! Always!#mentalhealthmatters !!!!!! by @lulabluebode
