What’s next, sudden weight loss? …yeah right
Everyone: I am losing my hair. I’ve never really loved my hair, but I didn’t mean my scalp had to get rid of it entirely. Yet that’s what it’s doing, shedding strands in scary quantities, and I don’t know why.
I always lose a lot of hair in the shower when I’m rinsing out the shampoo and conditioner. It gets tangled into webs between my fingers and I find it stuck on my arms and hidden in certain..uh..crevices. I usually paste the displaced hair to the shower wall and clean up when I’m done.
But yesterday, everytime I touched my head, wet or dry, I was pulling out hair in clumps. More than I’ve ever lost at one time. I was scared to brush it because what if it all came out in one giant wad and I’m left bald? I am no Natalie Portman, I could never pull off this look.
Brad suggested stress, but what am I stressed about? Yes, finding an apartment is not my favorite thing in the world, yes I’ve been waiting for two months on some important news that will determine my near future, and yes my boyfriend makes me intentionally pull my hair out once in awhile. But I don’t actually feel any more stressed than usual. Could it all be subconcious? Is my brain telling my scalp to loosen up, because who needs hair at a time like this, without me knowing it?
Stop Brain! We’re fine really. Go ahead and tell Head that everything’s alright and we do in fact enjoy having Hair around. Let’s tighten up those follicles, hey? Really! I’m happy!

Wow, sometimes we are so similar, it’s scary. I, too, lose gobs, nay, handfuls of hair in the shower. It’s neverending. But I seem to have plenty of it to go around, as I’m not going bald … yet. But the webby hair piles on the drain drive Roth crazy. He loves to stick them on the faucet, like a reminder to me to clean them up. It’s gross. Even though it’s my hair.
Maybe you outta start leaving cryptic messages with the pasted hair pieces. Spell out REDRUM with your hair. That’d be something.

That’s actually really scary. Don’t mean to scare you, but I used to lose hair all the time, then found out I had uc. It got really really bad when I had my surgeries. Now that I am in good health, I stopped losing my hair as much. Anyway, I get freaked out whenever anyone mentions hairloss, because of what my hairloss ended up meaning. I’m sure everything is fine, but it still freaks me out a little.
Sidenote: My aunt who is having chemotherapy is officially bald. I talked aobut her on my journals.
How you liking Wicked?

That’s scary Ang…but I’m happy to report that since I wrote about it, it hasn’t been nearly as bad. That one day was shockingly bad, but now it seems to be back to normal. Maybe it’s because we put the apartment search on hold for awhile.
Wicked is going good. Took me awhile to get into it, but now I’m enjoying it!
