So I'll try to keep it as short as possible
2012 ..lost most of my hair to Anorexia after years of being bullied for my ginger hair and weight at 21 had to wear wigs , actually think I developed PTSD from it I was absolutely heartbroken couldn't even speak about it for years
2020 had regrew my red hair to below my waist always compliment on it always asked if it's extensions..I have thick hair was a size 10 was really happy ..fell pregnant
Had a difficult pregnancy struggled with my growing body gainned 7 stone 😭 ( which I think has triggered something even tho I'm not relasping as a recovered anorexic I'm struggling to accept my new body )
Post partum hairloss started Jan 2021 , got covid twice in 6 months shortly after experienced excessive hair shedding , temples were completely bald
So we're here now my left.temple still continues to thin with not much regrowth and side of my hair seems thinner the nape of my neck burns and is sometimes red altho I have regrowth there and it looks back to normal almostttt
The problem is I've convinced myself I'm going bald, I've seen a derm a GP I'm booked in with a trichologist they all say yes your left temple is thinner but you've beautiful hair , It could be female pattern hairloss but it's mild and it's very early signs you could have 20 years before it progresses..
Since then I have drove myself insane , barley go anywhere for me , so I still take kids to park ect because they still need to live a happy life but I haven't attended weddings , parties ect the more this goes on the more I think I see my hairline thinning bald spots ect even tho everyone says it's not sometimes I see bald spots then take a photo when I look back at the photo there is no bald spots more I look more I start to see them 🥲 I fear I have BDD as when I had anorexia I was convinced my belly was huge but looking back I was skin and bones there literally was no fat on my body but I remember seeing it with my own eyes , do I have BDD ? And what help is there for it ? Tia ❤️
