Oh dear. Stress really does make us lose our hair, not to mention IBS and drugs, i.e. the pill. I've never taken it. I can relate, though re: hair loss/stress/IBS. My hair virtually fell out, 2.5 years ago. Guess what? IT IS MIRACULOUSLY growing back. Why? Because I follow the diet, get B vitamin shots (I have a malabsorption problem), and take anti-anxiety pills and eat gf. I just have a few spots, now. Doesn't hair loss affect your self-esteem? For the longest time, people thought I had Cancer and strangers would stop me in public, etc. Or they'd try to pass on these folk cures involving garlic (bleh!). Seriously stress and IBS and allergies/sensitivities can really cause hairloss. That is so weird, though about the pill. Medications really do impact hormones, hair, skin, etc. I get rashes/eczema all the time. It's embarrassing. But then drugs do show up in hair analysis. You are beautiful, Daliatree, even with less hair than before. I feel vulnerable, though, without my "mop" or "mane." It was really scary and eerie, initially but I decided to just go as natural as possible. There's something about hair. It's like a tree losing its leaves--protection, etc. And it gets really cold without the hair, too! And it just adds to your stress levels. But now, it's growing back, at least for me.
How weird. I thought I'd feel like a freak forever. The anxiety though is still there re: being in public or around even extended family without my hair. Sorry for babbling.
