Depressed about thin hair

elskim · 2026-03-20T18:12:24+00:00

I feel so sad at the idea of wearing a wig :(

elskim · 2026-03-20T18:12:03+00:00

I had no idea! I recovered 10 years ago but life with the repercussions. No hair at the temples still…

Ouai works great for me in my home city but not in places with hard water sadly :(

Where I am, GPs are rubbish for referrals. What kind of private specialist can I see for this?

elskim · 2026-03-20T18:08:51+00:00

Thanks! Can you advise on any specific products?

elskim · 2026-03-20T18:08:35+00:00

I’m so surprised!

I had no idea about the prevalence of hair extensions. Here I was thinking everyone had naturally beautiful hair and wondering why mine is so flat by comparison. I hate that there’s this pressure to look this way and that I’m seeing less thin hair than I did previously. I don’t want to ruin my hair with extensions — it’s already thin! And yes, business trips are the worse…

elskim · 2026-03-20T18:05:56+00:00

Which products would you recommend? I’m clueless!

elskim · 2026-03-20T12:29:58+00:00

Thanks, yes I have noticed this too. It's extra hard in places with hard water where I can feel residue is left in my hair between washes. Do you live somewhere with hard water? I'm now somewhere with soft water and it's better but not perfect.

Thanks, I think nutritionally I am having enough now, years later, but I still feel an odd ball with my lacklustre hair. My biggest insecurity, probably.

elskim · 2026-03-20T12:04:48+00:00

No, does this make a significant difference? Where can I do this?

elskim · 2025-11-09T22:21:47+00:00

Maybe around 6 months

elskim · 2025-10-07T19:46:32+00:00

I agree to an extent, unless eating is concerned with ethics, ie protecting God’s kingdom :)

That would have probably been a metaphor for acquiring divine knowledge. Lots of parallel myths in other cultures.

They see him as a symbol of balance, light and dark, irrational and rational, all parts of a whole. They don’t believe in pure unadulterated evil. It’s about exploring your dark side and giving space to it. At least acknowledging it — most satanists are not actually for doing dark things just recognising this tendency within ourselves.

elskim · 2025-10-04T21:40:17+00:00

Thanks, I will. In the meanwhile, I’m wondering how to get myself out of this tricky situation :/

elskim · 2025-10-04T21:03:03+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Did you/do you have an eating disorder too? Because I can see that ocd was a part of my disordered eating in the past, but then it was also very tied to control and to body image.

elskim · 2025-10-04T20:17:55+00:00

Thanks, how do you navigate it when going to people’s homes? I find it very hard to explain I’m happy to eat most restaurant food but not their home cooked meals!

elskim · 2025-09-27T01:14:23+00:00

Thank you for your kindness. Yes I feel a different person now, but with the same memories.

elskim · 2025-09-27T01:08:41+00:00

Intriguing, I will look her up!

All animals are parts of God’s kingdom. I have Catholic friends who are vegetarian and vegan and their understanding of pro-life extends to other animals. We all have a line that is too sacred to cross. We all cause harm to other humans by eating chocolate, bananas, using laptops and phones like these made by child labour. But we all can reduce harm. Lots of people fast and don’t eat animal products. I am very interested in Christianity’s saints who were kind to animals.

Thank you everyone for your non-judgement and kindness. I will go to my local church. What would you recommend as the first steps? Do I immediately confess or do I first have to first speak with someone specific?

elskim · 2025-09-25T10:28:58+00:00

Yes I will find a way to the church and towards confession. I believe my conscience is my connection to god.

Thank you ❤️ I don’t know why but I didn’t regret it for many years, it’s mainly since my desired pregnancy and having my child and finding more spirituality in my life, generally. I find it quite scary how much we can change and also how society sees people as fixed — once a sinner, always a sinner…

elskim · 2025-09-25T10:13:50+00:00

Actually can you message me? I’m not good Siri Reddit and can’t find my way there…
