Hi so this is my first ever time submitting a post to reddit despite being on the app for a long time, I am a 19 year old female and recently I have gone through severe stress and have been diagnosed with a panic and anxiety disorder to which i am now taking sertraline for (day 22) Due to severe stress back in March to around May this year, i developed severe scalp psoriasis to which i have been treating now (betacap which has helped) but also developed TE… I have lost absolute handfuls of hair and it has caused me such distress and brutal anxiety. i get scared even washing my hair and seeing it all go, its been almost 2 months now and it seems like its staying the same. My GP is not really helping, refusing blood tests as he claims it is simply just psoriasis and stress that shocked my hair follicles and i canr do anything about it, which may be true but im actually afraid of losing all my hair. losing my hair made me lose confidence and i am reaching out to talk to somebody who is going or went through something similar here as I feel like im losing my mind. Thank you ❤️   submitted by   /u/Successful_Ticket111 [link]   [comments]
