Well, I've screwed up big time.

You remember how I talked about the day I will have a bald spot that is very hard/impossible to hide? That day is today.

I was grabbing a bag of Trail Mix while my mom was cooking, and she said "Honey, have you been pulling on your left side recently?" My answer was a 100% honest "yes". I had a really bad night last night, staying up until about one yanking my hair out of my head. I had already flushed the humongous hair ball down the toilet, as this is how I usually dispose of the hair, and she said "Okay, because part of your head is pretty white." I sprint to the bathroom and grab a small hand mirror so I could see the back of my head, and sure enough, if I move my hair the right way, I have a bald spot on the left side of my head.

Oops.

Now, I think I might be able to hide this. However, there's a good chance that someone will see it.

I actually feel physically sick because of this. It's really stressing me out, and of course stress leads to pulling. Hopefully I find a way to hide the spot better. Adios for now.
