I have OCD and about the first of Oct decided that I was losing too much hair. Now I am so focused on it, I can't remember what it was even like before Oct. I am making myself sick worrying.
On the days I wash and blow dry my hair I lose 100-150 ish hairs. Yes - I have resorted to counting them.
Yesterday I did not wash it and I lost 80 hairs. Sunday and didn't do anything, and only lost the ones I don't see, ie pillow, etc. I am keeping a log of every day.
My derm and my hair stylist say my hair is fine. My husband says it looks the same.
But now I am so focused on it, all I can think about it my hair. It seems thinner and my part seems larger. It seems I can see more of my scalp than before.
My question is, how did you guys know you had a problem. How much hair do you lose a day.
Also - does anyone count your hair loss. My friends won't count to even see if my amount seems reasonable. My derm said 100 hairs, but I lose more than that for sure.
I need someone to tell me there story and to give some support. No one here understands and really just thinks I am crazy.
Thanks!
