On Saturday night I didn't go out to dinner with my family because I discovered a new, big bald patch. Right in the front of my hair line, on the other side of where my bangs used to be. Except with this one, I can't cover it up. I kind of jokingly mentioned it to my boyfriend, and he told me I looked fine. But then my fingers kept attacking the same spot, and my brain began to get mad, and then scared. Why do I let it get this bad?! Why can't I just stop?! I'm going to have to shave my head. For real this time. So, I told my boyfriend I was gonna go lie down and take a nap. I really just couldn't stand being inside my head any longer. I really scared myself. That was one of the first times I actually lied to my family as to why I couldn't go out. I lied about wanting to take a nap because I was about to take the clippers to my hair. It was one of the first times I felt this thing really taking over me.
