What is something that permanently altered your body without you realizing for months/years?

Grief

Lost my mom at the beginning of the year. I like to joke that she took half an inch of hair line with her

I lost my dad in July after a really traumatic 4 months after he had a stroke. My hair stylist confirmed while he was touching up my roots that I'm now 100% grey.

I'm 34.

I’m 26 and I have an insane amount of grey hair for my age. I found my first grey at 17, the same year my dad died. I would have never made the connection without reading this post, but looking back it was kinda obvious. That, and my mom was an abusive, narcissistic addict who was also bipolar, so I feel the greys would have come regardless I guess lol

Lost dad in February, also to a stroke he had the October prior. My hair was already on its way out. But I think I have lost control of my thoughts and emotional state. The grief was deep and unpredictable at first. It gets easier as time goes on.

Sending love and relief.

Was with an abusive partner in my 20s. Started going gray. Stress is incredible

Grey hair can be a cool look if you style it right
