How I Deal With Loss

You may be wondering why I don't have photos of my bald spots. Keeping reminders around and obsessing over what I don't like isn't how I do things. Alopecia isn't my only medical condition. I've had juvenile myoclonic epilepsy and hypothyroidism for 20 years. I tend to find a hobby and put my creative energies into that. Even though I had epilepsy, during my teenage years I swam competitively. I continued swimming despite having two seizures in the pool. My coach just had to pull me out.
While blogging about my experiences may seem like it is focusing on the issue, it is also part of another hobby. I am trying out internet marketing. That is why you see the sidebar with ads for hair removal or aloe vera. You can read about my experiment with online moneymaking at internetmarketingexperiences.blogspot.com. I am not good with technology, but I like to write. And blogging fuels my creative juices and gives me something to do in my spare time.
