i am suspecting telogen effluvium rather than alopecia. hair started falling from emotional stress of visit with family. it was that day i got to my mom's after the 3 days in car with my dad, i broke down crying, exhausted, defeated, then went numb after i poured out my heart and mom wanted to use my heartbreak to gossip about family. took a shower and pulled out so much hair, so much hair!
Telogen effluvium. In this condition, emotional or physical stress pushes large numbers of growing hairs into a resting phase. Within a few months, the affected hairs may fall out suddenly when simply combing or washing your hair.
actually...who knows...cause this says it takes a few months. maybe it was just the stress of winter which was intense not as acutely traumatic but more of a steady burn of discomfort. hoping the love and nurturing that i am receiving lately from myself and my friends is healing this.
