Mom on the Run

I was browsing thorugh some sites and found some articles about hairloss. Well, I was able to relate myself to it since a friend of mine got a case where his son almost lost 90% of his hair. They had it checked by a doctor and found nothing in it. It was some sort of rare severe effect of depression. His son was later found out to suffering from separation anxiety which has caused his immune system to almost "shut down." I never thought that there was such a thing.

Hair loss is caused by a lot of things and one of them is stress. If we let stress get into our lives and control us, it will ultimately destroy us and incapacitate us to do things we love. Manage stress before it manage you. Below are some of the good info about managing stress from webmd.com.

• Learn better ways to manage your time. You may get more done with less stress if you make a schedule. Think about which things are most important, and do those first.
• Find better ways to cope. Look at how you have been dealing with stress. Be honest about what works and what does not. Think about other things that might work better.
• Take good care of yourself. Get plenty of rest. Eat well. Do not smoke. Limit how much alcohol you drink.
• Try out new ways of thinking. When you find yourself starting to worry, try to stop the thoughts. Work on letting go of things you cannot change. Learn to say "no."
• Ask for help. People who have a strong network of family and friends manage stress better.
