Anxiety

[O-mai]

Is anyone here in the community suffers from hair loss because of anxiety and obsessive thinking ..depression

O-mai, I do see more hair come out on my comb then before I suffered from anxiety. x

[O-mai in reply to Agora1]

Well .. we have something uncommon, I lost more than half of my hear .. I used have a strong full straight hair now it weak and wavy almost curly ..

[Agora1 in reply to O-mai]

That sounds excessive for anxiety O-mai. It would be better that you spoke with a doctor who can let you know if any deficiencies are going on and what to do about it. Please let us know how you make out. I wish you well xx

Maybe it's the stress that come from the obsessive thinking (over thinking)

[O-mai in reply to Agora1]

I had hair loss sense I was 17 now im 21 years old and is still fulling out like crazy

[Agora1 in reply to O-mai]

I feel something else is causing it. x

[O-mai in reply to Agora1]

I went to the doctors like three time all described to me some pills, vitamins and shampoo and than I decided to try a blood test and it shows that im healthy nothing to worry about ... that's why i think it the cause of anxiety

[Agora1 in reply to O-mai]

O-mai, as long as you have been checked out by the doctors, you can probably assume that it is from extreme stress and anxiety. I would continue with the vitamins and shampoo, it couldn't hurt. xx

[O-mai in reply to Cherbear811]

[Cherbear811 in reply to O-mai]

I'm 37 and been dealing with it bad since july. What did help a little, i managed to finally get a haircut and the way it got layered saved my butt. Its not falling out quite as bad now. I feel your pain, all of it, why us?

[Cherbear811]

Yep. I used to have too much hair. curly locks that if i held my hands out they were way past my shoulders horizontally. I had to get my hair thinned. Now I miss it. The doctor says to go to the dermatologist but I know it's futile.

[O-mai in reply to kinikia95]

I feel your pain

[Cherbear811 in reply to kinikia95]

[Cherbear811]

I could go bald if it meant getting my mind back. But thankyou

[O-mai]
