Hair Loss and Trauma After 25 Years of Loss - The Life Altering Impact
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 มิ.ย. 2024
- I don't think hair loss is given the respect it deserves as the life altering devastating disorder it is. I have 25 years of hair loss, not one type but two, and I successfully lived with my hair loss for over a decade. Getting a second hair loss devastated me in ways I just could never anticipate and the pain of the loss continues to be reactivated in new ways. I share this story because I want women to know their feelings are valid, ALL OF THEM. Hair loss effects everyone differently, and we are allowed to feel our feels and need to give ourselves some grace within this difficult process.

#hairloss #trauma - แนวปฏิบัติและการใช้ชีวิต
Currently going on my 7th months of the worst CTE shed of my hair loss life (AA) as well. I too had the THICKEST hair and I so relate to how you talk about watching yourself disappear while your face enlarges. It’s traumatic to the core and every day shakes my will to live. Thank you for speaking with unapologetic truth and honesty.
It’s very, very difficult. Most days I’m ok, but sometimes it breaks my heart. The social anxiety is so accurate. I feel I’ve lost so much.
Completely accurate description of that memory unlock, I'm years and years past it but I remember the experience like that, like something broke open.
Thank you for sharing the trauma that no one not experiencing hair loss can understand. Thank you for continuing to be the one beacon of inspiration, information, and acceptance even though it’s not easy. I have a cabinet full of wigs and among them, thousands of dollars of regrets. I currently wear wigs that look nothing like my dearly departed bio hair. It was long, curly and brown. Curly wigs look ridiculous. I don’t know why, but they cannot replicate my former hair. I am now wearing pixies and bobs that are platinum blonde with brown roots. What remains of my bio hair is now silver-white (#60) but I feel it ages me too much so the blonde is 90% there w/o being grey. Like you, I clip my bio hair very short to make me feel less connected to the receded hairline and diffuse loss all over. At 61 years old, I no longer feel attractive or sexy. I’m just trying to not look like a fat bald man with boobs because I look more like my father every day (and not in a good way.)
Once I hit menopause, my androgenic alopecia went into overdrive, so I recently committed to a topper. I was initially excited, but so far I feel like I'm even more self conscious about people noticing my hair. I cut and dyed the topper so that it looks identical to my bio style, which I now realize looks "wiggy", and I can't fix it. After spending a fortune, I'm already wishing I could buy another topper!
I feel such resentment that I have to spend so much money figuring this out, and then it's just going to fall apart after a few months. It just feels like never-ending stress. And I hate that I'm so worried that one day, some asshole is going to embarrass me. Tell me that eventually this is going to be worth it, because it doesn't. You look great tho.
You do look so beautiful with no hair. Though I do acknowledge that it must have been deeply traumatic for you. Not everyone can look so amazing with no hair , but you really do.
Absolutely feel you. I’m at the point where I need to wear a wig, I just don’t know how or where to go.
I've had androgenic alopecia since I was 17 every thing you say is so true a woman losing her hair is so traumatising thank you for sharing your videos
I’ve been waiting for this and am so thankful for everything you share. You are amazing in how much you care about others to share your life and hair loss journey.
Everything you share truly hits home to me.
