Oy. Sorry elise : ' ( I know it's hard...and sometimes one thing make you get "freight-train" brain, where all the miserable thoughts come barreling through. Sometimes having a good cry helps me get it all out. But if you decide to do that, let it all out, but know when to stop. Do some breathing exercises, just be still. I know if I let it go on too far, I start getting heart palpitations. So it's a matter of balance. Having something nice to smell when you are done helps too, even if it is just cutting open an orange.
And then there are times I just do my best to laugh at the pain. Easier said than done, but like today, I have the "rice, crackle and pop" rice crispies in my neck, so the thought makes me giggle.
Thinning hair, *sigh* that's why I stopped getting haircuts....keeping it long so I can do the Trump comb-over so no one will notice what I lost : P
On the bright side, my underarm and leg hair has stopped growing...silver lining to every cloud.
