'You look tired.'

I have spent the weekend looking up hair loss treatments instead of studying for my test tomorrow. My hair, which has always been thin, is now anorexic. The one part of my body that I've never wanted to be thin. When I put my hair up in front I'm able to see my scalp more than I used to. If my hair gets any thinner it's gonna disappear that's how thin it is. Not a lot of sure fire options, aside from wearing a wig and I think that might be problematic with the amount I sweat at the gym. Although with a wig I might finally be able to have hair past my shoulders.

Oh God. Honestly, I don't need this on top of everything else. My mom, in trying to help me out, said that you can lose your hair from an emotionally stressful event, although the hair loss usually occurs 3 - 4 months after the event. If that's true I'm gonna be hairless by fall. If I looked like a young Sinead O'Connor I could totally rock that look. But I don't and that look only works in certain circles, not good for middle aged nurse.

Okay I'm going to really make an attempt at studying now.
