Have you been on the anxiety meds long enough for that to possibly help turn that around?
No. Unfortunately the hair loss happens 3 months after extreme stress or grief. It takes three months because something happens to the subset of hairs that are in a particular growth phase. So it can be a one time thing and that's it - the hair is going to start falling out 3 months later. I've been through it a few times now (once due to H's leaving in 2014) so at least I know how it goes and what to expect. But I am really angry that it just started all getting back to its' normal thickness throughout the entire length from the last time in 2014. I may cut it into a long bob or something just to make it less stringy.
And the anxiety meds are occasional use only, so it unfortunately can't help me.

Hopefully my GP won't be stingy. There's so much abuse these days, I know they have to be careful.
I get 10 at a time. S/he might be okay letting you try and that would last you through H's visit. You might not need them every day and I'd make sure to try one out before he's there to see how you react to them.
They definitely are not tranquilizers. They just make life easier to handle. Some people get a little sleepy on them, but I don't.
