Aw poor Ricki, I really do feel for her. I started 'thinning' once during a stressful time it was horrible.

Not nice to lose your hair, but suicidal, really.
Buy a wig dear, worry about the bigger things in life.:shrug:

That's a bit heartless Smudgie, what's a small thing to one person may be huge to another. Plus she's a celebrity, a female celebrity at that, everything they wear, how much weight they've put on etc is scrutinised so i can imagine what losing her hair would add to that judging

Yeah "cheer up get over it" isn't the most effective comment to someone depressed/suicidal.

To someone else it looks like a trivial thing. To someone struggling it's the straw that broke the camel's back.

...it’s very easy to have hair envy, hair can become a big thing...it can become everything...or feel as though it is...

Such a lot of celebs wear wigs nowadays, saves hours in the chair getting ready.
I suppose it’s a question of how you look at life. My hair comes out every time it gets touched, just have to take it in your stride, lots of lovely hats out there.:shrug:

Yes well it would be wonderful if we all had the same brains Smudgie and you could make people stop being upset/depressed by telling them to get over it but that's not real life
