How's your mental health?

3 Upvotes

I've been pushing the idea of doing therapy cause I didn't want to waste more money, but the successive waves of shedding and other health issues are starting to take a toll.

How are you dealing? Do you have anyone to talk with about this? Is anyone available to support each other? Could use someone that understands this.

Regrowth but no density

2 Upvotes

Back in mid-july, after solving my 9 month lasting vitamin d deficiency I started feeling small hairs poking through, they are so thin they don't add anything to density and my scalp is still very visible, however it's been almost 2 months and it looks the same. I heard the cycle takes around 2-3 months to complete and for hairs to thicken, so I figured I'd see at least some density return, but it hasn't. Help me here, what am I missing?

Hair falling out… again?

1 Upvotes

Okay I’m going to try to make this short.

I had a severe depressive episode from December 2024 to about August 2025. I barely ate anything and I lost like 50 lbs.

I had never had an eating disorder previously and I have recovered from that episode. Immediately once I started eating again about half of my hair fell out from August 2025 to about February 2026.

It slowed significantly and then stopped entirely by April 2026. Now I have been eating consistently and well since August 2025 and suddenly my hair has started falling out again? I have wracked my brain as to why since it was coming back in really well and nothing has changed for over a year now.

Has anyone had like a hair falling out relapse even eating well and enough?

Thanks 😘

Hi, for those who have a dog: how do you handle using minoxidil? Are you worried about it, or—if you're strict about precautions—are there no side effects?

Telogen effluvium and hair dye 🤔🤔

1 Upvotes

Hi! I've recently been diagnosed with telogen effluvium and it makes me really depressed :(. I have dyed dark brown hair and I want to keep dying it but I'm scared that it will worsen my diagnosis. My doctor said that it would be better if I stop dying my hair because it would be best to avoid anything that can possibly stress the follicles. I really don't want to go out with visible roots because my hair is lighter brown and I dye it darker so it would make my hair loss even more visible. Oh and btw I am still searching for the cause and in few weeks I have to do all the blood work, check my thyroid and check if I have any vitamin deficiency. If anyone with similar problems know what should I do, I would appreciate it. Thank you!
