Building Self Esteem Through Positive Action

admin — Thu, 31 Jan 2008 16:22:11 +0000

I’ve been watching Extreme Dreams with Ben Fogle recently, a BBC Two documentary in which Ben Fogle leads a team of adventurers on a life changing trek through Uganda. The documentary is inspiring stuff as all the adventurers have had to overcome physical and emotional challenges which include everything from blindness to obesity. Amongst the team involved is Gaynor a mother of three who has Alopecia. Part of the reason why she wanted to take part in this experience is to build her self esteem as having Alopecia has taken its toll on an emotional level. (more…)

Part of the reason that Help4Alopecia.com was set-up is to spread the word about useful Alopecia resources and websites. From time to time I come across a website or blog that really stands out from the crowd and www.AlopeciaAndLove.com is one such site. (more…)

Should bald men wear wigs or go natural?

Male pattern baldness for many men is a fact of life and the statistics are overwhelming when you consider 1 in 3 men will have male pattern baldness at some point in their lives. Whilst many are content to let nature take it’s course, for other men its not as simple as that as hair is a core part of our physical identity and losing it is often a emotionally painful process. Although there are many forms of hair loss treatment for male pattern baldness the question of whether to wear a hair piece is an inevitable question that men will ask themselves. (more…)

Updated alopecia resources page

Just a quick update to let visitors know I have cleared up the Alopecia resources page as it was full of some junk sites that were of little or no use.

Low Self Esteem And Social Anxiety Disorder

admin — Wed, 22 Aug 2007 20:18:34 +0000

I wrote a post a while back about how social anxiety disorder has a strong link with Alopecia and I wanted to revisit this as I think its important topic for people struggling to come to terms with Alopecia. Social anxiety disorder in my opinion is a direct result of low self esteem and the often severe and sudden nature of Alopecia can have a devastating effect on ones self image. (more…)

Recently I was listening to one of my favourite radio stations here in the UK, Talksport, and heard an advert by Regaine (a popular male pattern baldness treatment) in one of the commercial breaks. I was surprised and actually quite annoyed by the less than ethical methods used during the commercial. For those of you that haven’t heard it already it goes something like this. (more…)
