Hi there, I am finding myself really needing some encouragement and support from these boards right now since I can't get any from my family - they don't understand why in the world would I do something that would make my hair worse. And it IS worse. My scalp is soooooo much more visible. Why? How in the world can it get worse like this? I have read some of the archived posts where the gals said despite the increased shedding their hair did not look any worse. What is WRONG with me that I can possibly have so many hairs in telogen right now? It is early morning and I just brushed another 50-60 hairs out of my head. I am even losing hairs on my pillow at night and that never happened before. Even in the worst part of the TE. I looked in the mirror and realized I can see my scalp on the back of my head. I am absolutely terrified of how bad this can get - if it gets any worse than this, I will have no choice but to put my wig on - it won't be a matter of not wanting to go around with crappy hair, but a matter of covering up a bare head. I keep telling myself "you won't go bald, you won't go bald." But any new hairs I've grown - and I can't see any yet, since using Rogaine will be too short to make any difference. I am very terrified of other people looking at me and seeing the major difference in my hair. I am out of my mind. Thanks for listening.
