I’ve been going through a lot...and now my hair is falling out. Between stress, pressure at work, and everything else life is throwing at me, I’ve started experiencing alopecia and it’s shaken me more than I expected. So much of our identity is tied to our hair and I feel isolated trying to manage this in a space where no one really gets it. It’s hard to show up every day when I don’t even recognize myself in the mirror. Has anyone else been through this while still trying to keep it together at work?

Just want to say you’re incredibly strong for showing up at all right now. Hair loss is so deeply personal, and it’s okay to grieve it. I haven’t experienced alopecia specifically, but I’ve had stress-related shedding and it rocked my confidence. Give yourself grace, you don’t have to have it all together to be worthy of space and respect.

Can you tap into short term leave ?
