My hair thinned out significantly a couple years back, when my IBS was at its worst, due to a combination of malnutrition (I was hardly eating anything at all)/anorexia, and extreme anxiety. I did the same thing you did - chop off my hair, very short - and yes, it did take forever to grow back. I'm sorry I can't exactly be *helpful* about this, but I sure do empathize with the situation. It sounds like you've been through a lot, and I wouldn't be surprised if stress and poor nutrition were at the root (ugh, sorry, bad pun!) of your problem too.
Although meds can definitely do that kind of thing, so do check them for side effects.
