I work with middle school age kids and when they study my face/head I'm sure they are seeing it.

I constantly worry about it and study it. I obsess about what it looks like and if other people can see it. I obsess about when the loss will stop (if ever) and what caused it.

It makes me anxious, obsessive, and worried.

I'm 26yrs old and noticed the hair loss when I was over seas serving as a volunteer. I suspect it was brought on my stress, extreme diet change, birth control, and constant vaccinations/malaria medication. I've suspected loss for about 2yrs and thought I was going crazy since no one else seemed to notice or could confirm the loss until recently (1 month ago). I tend to be anxious, a worrier and a constant planner so this has turned into an obsession for me.

Aside from my hair loss =)....I'm a graduate student, no kids, with great dog that I do training with (agility and obedience) and a strange maine coone/siamese cat.
