my hair loss is ruining me

derm diagnosed telogen effluvium. didn't happen in clumps, my hair just gradually got scarcer. i'm only 22 years old. i'm supposed to feel young and confident, but i just can't even look in the mirror sometimes. i can't wear my hair up, it looks like 2 strands while it's down and i just don't know what to do anymore. i hate this so much and i need it to stop. i try not to obsess over other people's hair and comparing it to mine, but it just keeps happening automatically at this point. i'm losing my mind.

i had vitamin d and folate deficiency, which i got back to normal now and my derm did say that he sees new growth, but i just need this to be over already so bad :(
