I'd really appreciate some help on this as I am going out of my mind.
I am 32.
My hair receded at the temples so I have a mild M on my head. Basically A norwood scale 2
This happened in 2006 and it hasn't moved an inch since, learned to live with it.
Last year I was SERIOUSLY in trouble, financially. I was under threat of blackmail, debt, very important projects I was working on were failing and I fell into depression and anxiety.
It got so bad when the phone went or an email popped through my guts would go. Terror all day, every day and this lasted for nine months until October of last year.
I managed to get the situation sorted and the anxiety/depression at least the BULK of it went. I thought I was totally alright but since then I still feel on edge a lot of the time, I still get low and afraid easily, I fidget, I have a touch of ED in the sex department due to racing thoughts ALL the time.
Feel like my heads full of static.
I don't think it's as full blown as it was because I get excited about workign on projects again whereas before I hated the idea of leaving my room but that's only because most of the bad events have slowed down or stopped.
So I realised I wasn't out of the woods yet.
Anyway several months ago I noticed the top of my head thinning dramatically. It's about a third thinner than it was but every where else it is thick wavy hair.
The hair loss starts from the crown to one third along the top of my head.
I only have a few pics from the end of 2008 - start 2009 of the top of my head but from what I can tell it was more or less all there.
So this started around the time I was stressed and depressed
No one else in my family has had hair loss like this although there is hairloss and everyone except me has thin fine hair apart from me and my mothers grandad (who died with a full head of hair, never even went grey.)
I know if it is anxiety and it is a form of Alopecia it will grow back.
1. Was this caused by the anxiety and how can I tell for sure?
2. If this was caused by the anxiety shouldn't it have grown back by now or is it still because it is lingering on (even if 25% of what it was).
3. What can I do about it? I have been trying to get rid of anxiety for months.
4. Hair feels greasy all the time what's that about?
4. If your hairloss stabilises at the front shouldn't the stability hold everywhere?
Any comments would be greatfully accepted.
