alopecia, hair loss 😞

This might not be the place to post this... but I'm really just looking for some help at this point. Awhile I posted on here about a clump of hair I had lost... and everyone told me it was probably alopecia and to go to the doctors. So I did so. They're helping me treat and whatever but it just keeps getting worse. It started out the size of a dime and is now the size of my palm pretty much, and it's only been a couple weeks. I'm terrified that I'm going to lose more and more hair!😞😞 have any of you ladies had alopecia and found something that helped it? I never realized that losing a little bit of hair could cause so much depression and panic. But here I am crying over it once again... if anyone has any advice towards it, please help me out!! 😞😞
