My naturopath told me I have good intuition and I should trust it. My intuition months ago was that something was really wrong with my hair but noone I dredged up the courage to mention it to gave it any credence. I felt so embarassed even saying the words... "I'm worried about my hair", it sounded so ridiculous and self-absorbed.

I've only recently come to accept that I have a real problem here, that's it's not just my imagination, a temporary thing. My hair is falling out and it might not stop. As terrifying as that is there's a part of me that feels relieved to have acknowledged it, to no longer be in denial.

Finding this network today feels like an integral part of the acceptance - I feel that much stronger in it, knowing I'll have somewhere to come when I falter and lose hope and feel overwhelmed.
