Well mine is my hair.
From an early age people have always complimented me on my appearance but based on my hair. From my natural curls to my straight hair. Or when my hair was blue or purple. I've just always been known for "the girl with the nice hair".. and it's a great thing.
However, Last month i started losing my hair at a rapid pace and earlier this year i was diagnosed with telogen effluvian. Which is basically a just a rapid loss of hair due to external stresses. It also doesn't help that hairloss runs in the family. So it was only a matter of time.
I have lost 2/3 of my hair. I lack volume, you can see my scalp and my hairline is receding.
I can feel my confidence fading wifh every hair strand i'm losing. And i know it's just hair, but it's such a huge part of my identity.
And i don't want to mention it to anyone (even though im sure i dont have to) not even my boyfriend. But i'm sure he knows. And i can feel the love slowly fading as i start to get balder.
It just sucks. And i hate that its affecting me this much. I used to be so happy but now i just feel insecure and upset

ReplyI don't think I can ever say words to comfort you as I am also experiencing thinning hair. And I've also been admired for having such thick and curly hair. I hope you find comfort in this platform or in other means. I hope you at least stay healthy and safe.
