I haven't been on here in a while but to be honest I've not been doing great for some time with my anxiety. This past week or so I have noticed that my hair seems thinner at the sides than on top. I've basically gone into meltdown that I'm losing my hair as I seem to be shedding a lot at the moment. I've tried to attach a picture so you can see what I mean. I'm definitely not imagining it. It's possible that my hair has always been thinner at the sides but I'm sure I would have noticed it before now. I'm really terrified of losing my hair.
The other issue is that I think I really need to go back on meds for my anxiety but since hair loss is a possible side effect with all the SSRIs I'm too scared to take them. I know there are no real answers to this but I just feel so down and on my own with my constant anxiety over this. I check my hair constantly to try to reassure myself that it's not that bad, but obviously I feel worse every time because this is how it looks :(
