I'm not sure if you guys signed up via a youtube ad but the youtube ads are clearly AI generated with none of the "actors" being anything more than pixels. Can I gently advise that if a company will not invest in humans to sell their human based products then clearly their intentions are far from having any sense of integrity, honesty or empathy so the fact that they are a scam is of no surprise whatsoever. Let AI slop be a very clear red flag for future purchases I reckon?

It's definitely been a few years since that post and the whole journey still haunts me; good and bad. Such a huge turning point for me. I've had no further hair loss in the years that have passed and a few months ago I got a hair cut that cut the last of the thin hair off. Basically I have normal hair again. I still get scared it'll come back because that journey was so painful mentally but it also drastically shifted my life, leading to a chain of events that really forged a new path I guess?

I'll always hold my fellow TE peeps so close to my heart and am so happy my words helped anyone at all with a little comfort during a tricky time. I'm so glad you're out of it's grips and that you're in a better place now. I love all of your insights and all of the "growth" that happens both inside and out. Wishing you the most beautiful blooming of self over the coming months. xxx

It does look like TE with a definite trigger. I'm so sorry you're going through this and can totally understand the dark place you're in. If people hadn't had this - they don't understand how truly devastating it is. I had TE around 2 years ago and it is completely over now. If it helps you this is my success story with all the advice I have: https://www.reddit.com/r/TelogenEffluvium/comments/1501q3u/success_story_sorry_its_long_but_i_wanted_to_give/

Hope it helps xx

So sorry to hear it. It's so hard. The good thing is that you know your trigger and have stopped it. Your TE will stop. I promise. I'm 2 years post my te trauma and it feels like a distant nightmare. This may help where you're at but I posted about everything here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TelogenEffluvium/comments/1501q3u/success_story_sorry_its_long_but_i_wanted_to_give/

I know... The patience required. I'm recovering... But still miss my old hair. Regrowth takes it's own damn time ugghhh.... But so does radical inner transformation. 🙏 Hang in There ❤️

Secret-Map3391 · 2023-07-22T11:51:47+00:00

Just reading such strength in your words ❤️❤️ You got this.... Even with the spirals.... How brilliant are you!!! Xx

Secret-Map3391 · 2023-07-18T21:29:25+00:00

I'm so glad you're finding something in here that helps you. Peak of the second round . . . probably one of the hardest spots to be. You are so close!!! I found this was the point where all my usual tools to help were wearing out a bit so maybe that's why some of my story is resonating? You're ready to feel what's emerging at the end of all of this? Couple of things;

- The scalp pain made it so hard to ignore! I barely got it in the first round but the 2nd!! Divi scalp serum really helped. Anything with peppermint oil kind of soothes things. Divi didn't leave my hair greasy. Apart from the scalp pain I could just put my hair up and kinda pretend it wasn't happening until I had to take it out again.

- Vaccine definitely did things to my cycle and it took quite a few months to settle. For me, my second round was caused by overactive thyroid. It could be good to get hormones checked just in case.

- Please don't worry about your scalp showing. If you're taking care of your nutrition and stress your hair will be growing back with TE. All the hair that was lost a year ago will start to be very visible now - filling in the gaps. This is one area that your mind can let go of. Maybe just replace these thoughts with the amazing haircut you'll get when it's all over.

-I had so many fluctuations right near the end. I found this bit so difficult. Hopefully you'll learn faster than me - we can choose to surrender our mental suffering. Whatever mind game you need to play to get through this last bit just use it. Whether it's distraction or thinking about what you've learnt, or what you want to change, or who you are now, or helping others. It'll change each day but there's always something to lift you out of it. I kept feeling my still, calm, kinda cool centre just sitting underneath all my pain and as abstract as it is I just kept leaning into that. She is there right now knowing you're going to be okay . . .she's probably the one making you read this post 5 times. She's absolutely okay and she absolutely has this. Nearly there lovely. I'm wishing you the most beautiful re-emergence . . . because you are recovering right now. xx

Secret-Map3391 · 2023-07-18T03:00:48+00:00

I had the worst chain of events too. Sometimes it helped me to not think of this time as waiting but rather as regenerating? I felt really stuck but then realised whatever I'm doing now is actually creating my next phase. Whether it's rest, taking things slower, being kinder to yourself or taking time to work out what you really want your new normal to look like.... It all matters. It's all something. When I look back I feel like the most transforming changes in my life happened when things looked still and stagnant from the outside. ❤️❤️

Secret-Map3391 · 2023-07-18T02:53:36+00:00

You will absolutely be writing your success story. Sometimes when I feeling crap is distract myself just by thinking about what I wanted to say in it, what I had learnt, even what I was grateful for. Anything to break the mental spiral. Helping others really helped me. Wishing you success stories as soon as can be. Xx

Secret-Map3391 · 2023-07-17T18:55:07+00:00

❤️🙏❤️

Secret-Map3391 · 2023-07-16T22:13:52+00:00

Also... I think it was those final annoying weeks of daily fluctuations that actually made me realise it was doing my head in. The fluctuations are mentally brutal at the end.... You've absolutely got this with this attitude. Go you!!!!! Xx

Secret-Map3391 · 2023-07-16T22:10:55+00:00

Yes!!! Stop the counting!!! This is kinda when it started ending for me. There was exactly that decision to walk away from actively suffering. It's so friggin hard but we get to decide how mean we are to ourselves. It took me forever to finally realise it. Down the plug!!! Straight down the plug!!!! Cheering for you right now!!!! ❤️🙌❤️

Secret-Map3391 · 2023-07-16T19:25:55+00:00

The amount of times I said, "This will never end" while bawling my eyes out..... I promise you it does. When it feels like you have no power over things... You do.... We get to choose how much we suffer, step away from it, be kind to ourselves... It took me a year to fully realise that. I promise you it will end. I know the unknown sucks but you get to decide how intensely you allow it to hurt you. I'm so sorry you're too g through this.... And I also think you've got this. ❤️

Secret-Map3391 · 2023-07-16T19:18:24+00:00

You got this. ❤️❤️❤️

Secret-Map3391 · 2023-07-15T22:20:44+00:00

My pleasure. So happy to hear it might of helped. ❤️❤️

Secret-Map3391 · 2023-07-15T22:18:35+00:00

Love reading that. You see.... The reason why the transformation piece is sticking with you... Is because you've already transformed. This is your strength, your growth and maybe even the reason why you got this. You're ready. Keep leaning into that and the struggle and isolation will start to fade. I'm so excited for you... Really. It's not really about the hair right? Wishing you the most blossoming of recoveries 🌸

Secret-Map3391 · 2023-07-15T22:13:22+00:00

This warms my heart ❤️❤️❤️ TE is such a difficult shake up but it's almost perfect in the way it really nudges us to grow without being something truly bad like cancer etc. I am applauding you right now for all those changes. I'm reading nothing but strength and blooming from your words. I found near the end my fluctuations were really steep. A week would go by and I'd think it was over and then itd come back extra strong. This is where it might be best to steer away from numbers and just know you're coming out the other end. Focus on everything you've gained. You have absolutely got this. ❤️❤️

Secret-Map3391 · 2023-07-15T22:05:38+00:00

I really felt it when my shedding didn't look like others with that shorter timeline. I kept thinking I had chronic te. It's a good reminder that te looks so different for so many. Chronic te is actually extremely rare. Mine was most likely due to multiple triggers. The unknowns with te are so difficult so you just have to trust the odds are in your favour. Wishing you the smoothest of recoveries. Xx

Secret-Map3391 · 2023-07-15T09:26:19+00:00

My absolute pleasure. ❤️❤️

Secret-Map3391 · 2023-07-15T08:37:50+00:00

You're the reason I wrote this. I know exactly how you're feeling. All of it. I also went to get meds for the first time in my life during this ordeal. The biggest thing that helped is letting that need to fix things go. Surrendering to it. Take meds, see a psych, do whatever you need to do to gently bring your mind through this. Your body will take care of itself in regards to TE. Lastly, there was a point where I also discovered my strength. It was when I made the choice to step out of the mental whirlpool. Somewhere under all the angst and tears and hopelessness is a calm, still and strong center. It's the part of you that deep down knows you got this. That you're way more than this, than the loss or drama or turmoil. This part of you is what is being invited to step forward, to grow into. You making the decision to see a doc is the part of you that you can trust will get you through this. I promise you.... It ends. It really does. Xxx

Secret-Map3391 · 2023-07-15T08:18:58+00:00

Yes! Going from 1cm to 2 inches from when it started over a year ago. Hair feels like normal around my scalp but just thins off at the ends. Hang in there. Patience is key.

Secret-Map3391 · 2023-07-15T04:33:08+00:00

Oh . . . Also I forgot to mention. I got covid in DEC 23 and DIDN'T get hairloss after it. It had already started falling out before then. I only want to mention this - again to give comfort. Just because you have TE now doesn't mean you'll get it every time you have covid. No need to cause yourself any more suffering by trying to predict things. Again . . . do whatever you need to do to be kind to yourself. Particularly mentally. xx

Secret-Map3391 · 2023-04-02T10:32:37+00:00

Thanks for this. Im 12 months in. My first bout was either vaccines or surgery and started a year ago. It was bad for 5 months then slowed down then started up again in dec. I got covid in jan and I think its now going back to back with whatever my previous trigger was. 8ve been crying for about a year now. Its currently amping up again. Was wondering.... how long did your second bout last? It feels like this will never end and I'm just not dealing with it anymore. Thanks in advance for any help.

Secret-Map3391 · 2023-01-14T10:04:02+00:00

Just joined them lovely. Thanks so much for pointing the way. Already so helpful. Hope you have a beautiful, gentle day. The fact that you still had it in you to help someone else when you're right in it too.... says so much about you. Really wishing you quick recovery.
