I've struggled with an eating disorder, anxiety, and depression for almost eight years now. When things finally started to get better for me, I find out that I have androgenetic alopecia (female pattern hair loss). The results from the scalp biopsy didn't exactly say it was this, but my dermatologist said it was androgenetic alopecia. Most days, I hate everything about myself, including my body, hair, nose, eyes, personality, and the sound of my voice. Even though I live with family, I choose to stay in my room. I haven't talked to anyone in two months now, including my parents. Finding out that that I have androgenetic alopecia and that I will continue to lose my hair is devastating. I used to have thick hair, but today I have lost well over half of my hair. I feel so ugly that I've put a blanket over my bedroom mirror. I am only 22 and I have missed out on so much in my life. I have been hurt by people closest to me and have lost people in my life who meant the world to me. I used to believe in God. What I struggle to understand is why do bad things keep happening to me. Why is it that when my bulimia, anxiety, and depression finally start to get a little better, my hair starts falling out.
