Alopecia Areata - patchy hair loss 😭

I need to vent. I found a bald spot as I was fixing my hair this morning.

The only other times I've gotten bald spots is in nursing school and my first nursing job (3-4 total). So yes, extreme stress. I thought it was over since it's been 9 years since I got another one. Then it happens again. Maybe the stress of 2020 finally caught up to me. Or the stress of my extremely picky eater of a child. And I was growing my hair out to donate, now I may keep it... 😭
