Excessive shedding: balding?

[Tele]

Hey all,
I’m gonna make this short.

For about a year, I’ve been losing hair. Shedding a lot. Most of the hairs seem to be terminal, but I do get some small short ones as well. This initially caused me to panic, like obsessive panic. Like reading about fin and taking pictures every day panic.

The thing is my objectivity is out the window. I struggle with a pretty bad anxiety disorder and hypochondria. I’m starting to think that I’m just crazy. I know stress can cause hair fall, but I was really not optimistic enough to think that was what was going on. It might feel a bit thinner, but after a year the pictures look the same. Saw a derm months ago, and she seemed to think I was fine.

Can you help me either decide it’s real and hop on fin (I’m ready to do it if necessary), or just finally put this subject to rest? I’m ready to move on with my life. This year has sucked. The picture of my part has a picture from a year ago below it to compare. Would you say I’m losing it, or is this pretty normal with flash?

Oh, photo two is with hair intentionally parted. You can’t usually see through it there. All pictures are with flash.
