Hello Everybody!
I posted a thread last week about how my hair was thinning. I'm 25 and my hair has begun diffuse thinning. I was very depressed by this realization but now I finally mustered the strength to fight this. I have a long history of anxiety and major depression. All my life I've always been a nervous wreck. This past year, I got worse. Every little thing bothered me. No joke. If I messaged somebody and they never messaged me back, that ruined my day and sent me straight to bed. Sometimes, I would even get nervous when I would sign onto facebook. That's how bad my anxiety is. I cry a lot too. Seriously, I don't even know why I do. I never had that problem and now I can almost cry at will. I've become a hyper-sensitive guy.
What does this have to do with my hair? I believe that my hair falling out is due to stress. Everytime I go into the shower, I look at my hands after and I see a bunch of hair strands. I looked online and I read articles about how stress can induce hairloss and that it can also lead the hair going "dormant" for a couple of months. I don't know if this is really in fact the case but I want to believe that it is. My problem has always been that I would give up and not try. That being said, I'm going to try. I want to believe that I am going through a phase.
Aside from my hair, I plan to change my life for the better. I've lost friends, job opportunities, relationship opportunities, and respect because of my outlook in life. I have faith that I can overcome this and I know that I will with a positive attitude. Please support me everyone!
