What is going on?

Feeling so much and nothing at the same time right now.. Woke up this morning to having a bald patch at the front of my head... Hair has been falling out slowly for a while but now I have a noticeable patch... I could cry!! 😭
 
My hair falls out too at times, It can be a numerous of things such as stress or thyroid problems.
I would call your GP on Monday to see what they think.
 
Do you put your hair in a pony tail or braid? I made myself get what's called stress alopecia by putting my long hair up every night in a tight ponytail or bun. My hair started falling out, it freaked me out. Now it's so thinned out I hate it.
