The Emotional Effects of Hair Loss

Vegamour* asked me to get real about hair loss.

What’s beneath the surface? What happens emotionally?

I dug deep, back to the bullying of middle school up until what happens now as a mom and a woman. Will I influence my daughter? Will my friends notice the gaps in my brows or lashes? Will I ever get my confidence back?

But something I was terrified to do was the one thing that helped dissipate those feelings of shame and loneliness. I hope my trichotillomania story resonates with you or someone you love. You are not alone.
