I'm a hypochondriac for sure, but shedding still makes me crazy. I'm 22 and have always had a mature hairline and it's still the same. I have a thick curly afro and this is the first time I've let it out in a while so the hairs are easier to see when they fall. I haven't noticed any thinning or receding just lots of shedding. I can't see in the shower cause it's closed off and dark so I have no idea what occurs in there. But if I really get bored and anxious I'll stand over the black rug in the bathroom and just keep running my hands through my hair and i think if I just keep going hairs will keep coming. My hair was unwashed today and kinda flat and I just did it and a lot of hairs fell. But my hair is so thick that maybe I just shed alot. My roommate has much longer hair and loses a good amount in the shower so I just can't decide if I should worry or not. On a side note, there is almost no balding in my family, but I got persistent acne which is also supposed to be genetic and no one else has had that in my family. Sorry just rambling, I wish I could just know if it's something to spend time worry about and start dealing with, but I have a full head of hair so no one seems to think I have anything to worry about, but I'm sure most of you here had a thick head of hair and maybe it started just like this.
Just don't know if I have a problem

If you're not receding or thinning, I wouldn't worry about it. Everyone sheds. Just keep a close eye on things and don't worry about it too much for now.

I dont want to worry you but I only realized that I had male pattern baldness because of shedding that seemed irregular. My hairline didnt begin to receed and it still hasn't that much because I'm a more of a diffuse thinner.
Does the amount your shedding now seem to supercede the amount you were shedding before? If so then maybe you might have begun to thin.
From the way you describe your hair it seems much thicker then mine so maybe you'll be fine. In your case I think you just might have to wait it out a month or two.
