If you think you are depressed call your healthcare provider. We have really good medications these days.

Hey Surgery Day Sister.... Please call your doctor about depression. Make sure it's something that they and you can take control of. Don't let yourself go into a downward spiral! You have come a long way! As far as the hair...I hear you. About 3 weeks ago I started taking GNC's Ultra Nourishair. It seems like in the last couple days the falling out has slowed way down! I also have very short hair and thin hair to begin with. I have highlights and a good cut, so it adds volume to my hair. I can tell how thin it has become, but my husband still insisits he can't see it. So, I am really hoping this GNC stuff is helping. Anyway...hang in there girl! We are here for ya!

I think its normal to some extent. Some days I just feel down in the dumps. Have you had any issues with food? I mean, not tolerating things and being sick? I had that for a long while so I think the contributed to my feeling down all the time just knowing that i was gonna at every meal.I have been told it all gets better though so hang in there.

Yep - I have had depressive mood swings for a couple weeks now. I hit a plateau at 52 lbs. And my hairbrush is loaded with hair. I did buy some biotin shampoo and conditioner, as well as some biotin tablets. Hopefully this will help a bit. I am still forcing myself to go to the gym at least 3 times a week. I don't want any batwings if I can help it. Some days are diamonds, some days are stones this funk cannot last too long ~ dmj
