I miss my hair

I should preface this post by saying I feel truly blessed to have my son and I wouldn't trade him for anything in the world. I'd shave my head if it would make him happy. As true as that is, this postpartum hair loss has really got me down. It didn't happen until about four months, so I thought I was safe. When it hit, it hit HARD. I lose handfuls of hair when I am showering and am constantly picking pieces of hair off of every surface I've touched. It looks thin and stringy in photos and I have to wear it up all the time so as not to cover my baby with my shedded tresses. I've had long, thick hair my whole life and am so unhappy with this new development. My son is almost seven months old and I'm hoping my hair goes back to normal soon. I know I probably sound like an incredibly vain asshole right now, but I just wanted to commiserate with someone. Anyone else mourning the loss of their hair? Does it come back or should I just accept my new do?
