i’m losing my mind

[Sophie]

i haven’t cried this much in a hot sec. i have alopecia and have been waiting on my hairpiece for six weeks. each week they say it’ll be done and then they push it back again. this was the last straw. i get my hopes up and then they just pull out more empty promises. i don’t want to go anywhere or do anything anymore. i have no confidence left. i don’t wanna go school i don’t want to hang out with friends i just want to sleep forever. it’s so hard and nobody understands. i can’t take all this waiting it’s ridiculous already. what are we paying $1000 for??? for them to mess around for weeks on end when they said they PROMISED it would be done before february??? they’re saying next week. i don’t believe it for a second and i’m enraged. i expect this to be the most beautiful and realistic thing i’ve ever seen in my life or i don’t know what i’ll do. i can’t do this . i can’t.

Hi Sophie. I can't imagine the frustration you're going through over such an important aspect of your life. I know two women that have alopecia, one does makeup tattooing and did some permanent eyeliner and eyebrows for my wife. (best Christmas gift I've ever given my wife) I know you've lost all faith in the wig folks getting your new wig to you before February but there's still a chance. My only suggestion is to work with what you 've had before ordering the new wig and not let this wig company control your whole life. I know you are so sensitive about this area of your life but perhaps you can find the strength and confidence to realize that your fellow students and friends aren't concentrating on your looks as much as you fear. Don't let that wig-maker make you cry or stop seeing your friends. They don't sound worthy of that power.

Absolutely agree! They aren't worth it. It will come eventually, and when it does, you'll know that they've taken the time to take care of all the details to make it beautiful for you. In the meantime, focus on the other good things in your life and hang in there!
