I was struggling with a big problem for 1,5 years. My depression at that time was really bad, I wasn’t able to get up from my bed, shower of brush my hair and teeth. My hair started to matted. Me and my boyfriend tried to brush it out but it was to late. All of my back hair was stuck and we didn’t know what to do. After many calls with hairdressers and appointments I was convinced that I need to shave my head and was really down mentally. 
People judged me, tell me that my problems was “not that big of a deal”, that I should go to the salon sooner and it was my fault. 
After 1,5 years I started therapy and my psychiatrist find out for me salon called “dread-zone”. They specialize in dreads and brushing them.
At first I wasn’t sure if I was able to contact with them but I give it a try. 
After 15 hours of work, pain and tears I am now free. 
Free of shame, sadness, fear of walking out of my house. 
I’m writing this because there are people who suffer with the same problem as I was. Your not alone. It’s really hard to find someone who will help you and support you. But it’s not impossible.
I’m not on the end of my hair journey, they are damaged. But I have hear now. After 1,5 year.
