Ok - no disrespect to Dr. Phil - but my hair is falling out and it's a nervous wreck!!!

I'm a 37 year old female and about 2 months ago I noticed I was losing more and more hair in the shower and when I brushed my hair.  I have quite long hair and at first I thought it was just the heat (I usually 'molt' a bit in the summer) but my hair dresser did think my hair was thinner when I saw him 6 weeks ago.  It gradually got worse - now it's at the point to where I've actually developed a few bald spots and my hair line has receded up my neck noticeably.

I've gone to my doctor and she checked me out and it should be just a stress related issue, nothing permanent (she did blood tests so no thyroid or diabetes, & the bald spots don't match alopecia), so that's a relief.  She said it would have been tied to a particularly stressful event around 3 months before the hair started falling out - so I can TOTALLY remember the phone call to my mother that set it off! ;-)

Anyway - has anyone gone through this that can relate?  When can I expect my hair to stop falling out?  More importantly - when will it come back?  I can still hide it ok now but I'm going to be getting married next year (that was what I was calling to tell mom - thought the call would have been a happier one) and I really would like to stop stressing that I'll be wearing a tiara on a bald head.

Thanks to anyone who could help!

You are truly an angel with good tidings for all!

Here's to your journey on the upward spiral.

I think that done the right way, can make one more positive.  Imagine seeing really bad things & one would lose confidence in the world.  Our dreams often are bad things that don't make any sense.  A dream interpreter can show how things things are valuable. This was a tip on a morning show, ie. If one dreams something frequently, that event happened the day or two before the dream.  And began at the beginning of these dreams.

Your lack of acceptance would be in your dreams. 

he still slept in his mother's bed, I think he was 2 or something, & was not allowed to eat meat etc. & was allowed to do anything he wanted.  But had to be supervised all the time.

The could be thought of as abuse.  The lack of balance - I think that's what upsets children.  And is abusive.  And I think that kids with these types of problems often behave very spoilt, hyperactive and can't get any help, despite being and doing things that should help.  His mother has created an environment to take out the things she thinks is bad, by reducing chemicals & bad influences, but how this is done without it being in the schools, is not fair.

Schools need to have very healthy choices.  Saying that mentally one can live with one's differences - may be a matter much harder to address than doing good things that address the real concerns.  I think that thinks are linked but are not necessarily connected.  That other causes are much more likely.  Such as hyperactivity or aggression.  So that children don't feel they are abused, different & deprived, almost irrationally later, don't need labels that really reflect the flaws in thinking rather than actual disabilities or differences. 

Because what they have is not what everyone else is like - children may be suffering things not usual for that age.  Might be clingy etc. and imbalanced.

It just opens your eyes as to how not being accepted can happen.
