Yet, because I have built it up into a massive fear, it's still like a dark cloud hanging over me. I have ruined not just the best years of my hair, but of my looks and life worrying about it.
I would have found it easier had I had NO loss at all up until a year or 2 ago then it got to this point very quick as i wouldn't have become conditioned by dread, anxiety and depression around the issue. I would have been able to have been more pragmatic, thinking "I have had the best years."
I also think it would be easier to just wake up one day with a horse shoe pattern, there wouldn't be the rumination about how far and how quick it will go, nor of what to do with it - decision made for you.
So how did those with MPB cope with this horrible 'In between' stage?
