Greetings guys,
So my shedding dates back to about march 2017, I started to notice my scalp was somewhat more visible when under a shining light ( after I would shower and look in the mirror, my rear mirror in my car under my light) and things have gotten to the point where they are pretty bad now. Everytime I shower i lose a shitload and even when I don't shower and simply run my hands through my hair to style it, a few strands will come out always no matter what. Im losing my mind trying to figure out of this is a temporary shed, or Telogen Effluvium as the dermatologist I visited said I MAY have. She wasn't even sure what to diagnose me with but rumor says not many dermatologists know much about hair loss. This has slowly but surely driven me into a manic depression and has induced anxiety into my every day life. I use to love my hair because it was always so thick growing up and I actually had difficulty styling it many times because of this very reason.i now fear I won't have much left by the end of 2017 when I graduate college( Im praying a miracle happens by then so I can have my hair back for my graduation photos). At this point it would just be great for piece of mind to know what exactly the deal is and I know you guys can help me because I've noticed this is a very friendly community with a lot of optimistic individuals that have given great advice to those in need. My hair loss is so strange because by no means do I follow the traditional male pattern. In fact, to most it would seem as if I have a full head of hair. Its most noticeable when I sweat or shower( when hair is wet) the hair strands all over are just much thinner than they used to be, therefore my scalp shows like it never used to. My hairline is still in tact. If anybody could be amazing and please look at my photos to give an assessment it would be most appreciated.
