I sort of noticed that you could see more of the back of my head when my hair was wet back in January, but it was so subtle I really couldn't tell either way and forgot about it. Today I was just sort of scratching the back of my head and it felt actually physically sparser than normal. I couldn't shake it, my hair actually seemed to feel differently in my hand. So I took a few pictures... http://imgur.com/a/9duaN
Apologies for the messy bathroom sink.
I don't even know what to think of this? I can't remember ever being able to see more than a nickel sized spot of my scalp my entire life. Today, now matter how I push my cowlick around, the hair around my crown looks thin and sparse like that. It is DRAMATICALLY more noticeable than a month or two ago where I had some nagging feelings about it. I made an appointment with a dermatologist for thursday. I just had to thought dump this on here because it put me in an intensely negative head space. How could it become so visible so quickly? I hate that I'm immediately so fatalistic about it but it truly came as a shock. Is this progression normal? In the span of a month or two?

Don't have any before pictures for comparison really, unfortunately. I am completely floored by this.

Also I am prescribed Welbutrin for depression and a side effect of alopecia is listed on the wikipedia article for it, but I have no idea how common that is.
