I might not be able to understand all you're going through, but i can empathize. I have lichen planopilaris, which is an autoimmune scarring form of alopecia. All the health complications are one thing, but the hair loss aspect of issues is its own kind of unique hell on another level, i feel.

the amount of times i've heard about some developer tossing their code into chatgpt to write their documentation already gives me stress lines, but knowing that morons do it for *government contract* work might actually make me go prematurely grey
