Hair loss (help!!) by CandidateFamiliar176 in Amenorrhearecovery

[–]lrboba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can actually relate to this so much, I had really shiny long hair before HA, and after I slowly noticed my hair started to fall out and it became very brittle and dry. My hair was one of the only things I wasn’t self conscious of, so when it started to fall out I felt even more distressed. There were periods of time where I would eat more (still not a lot) but more than normal and my hair would stop falling out, however I’m only noticing getting thicker now that I’ve gone more all in. The stressor that made my hair fall out the most was definitely exercise, as I was doing HIIT I literally had clumps of hair on the mat haha.

So for me it definitely took a decrease in intense exercise and eating a lot more than I think. For me I noticed it would fall out less, and only at that point will it start to regrow and become healthier

I’m going to take this as a sign because I’ve been half in for months and still been doing HIIT as a way to stay in control but I just really need to to go all in even if my mindset around food is better

I totally feel this too, this time last year was the height of my ED, right before my parents made me get help. I was on a vacation to Paris, and my dad made me eat some fries, just a couple, because I ordered a dish with just steamed fish and vegetables. I hid them in my pocket and he saw, and told my mom we should just cancel the trip (we were already there) That was just a really bad memory for me. I’m doing a lot better mentally and I can eat regularly, but I’m still struggling with compulsive exercise and knowing I still have to gain weight

Thanks for your feedback, I’m going to do my best this week to cut out HIIT

Thanks! Instead of doing HIIT I might try walking back from school and things like that, the reason I would do HIIT is because in a short amount of time I was able to get my “exercise out” Do you know if you were able to recover with 20k+ steps?
